Chemical Structure

tert-Butyl 6-chloro-3,5-dioxohexanoate CAS 276249-18-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of tert-Butyl 6-chloro-3,5-dioxohexanoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

tert-Butyl 6-chloro-3,5-dioxohexanoate (CAS 276249-18-4), molecular formula C10H15ClO4 and molecular weight 234.68 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, tert-Butyl 6-chloro-3,5-dioxohexanoate (C10H15ClO4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 234.68 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
