O-Formyl Acetate CAS 2258-42-6 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies O-Formyl Acetate (CAS 2258-42-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C3H4O3, MW 88.06 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, O-Formyl Acetate (C3H4O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 88.06 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
