Chemical Structure

Ethyl 3,3-difluoropropanoate CAS 28781-80-8 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 3,3-difluoropropanoate (CAS 28781-80-8), molecular formula C5H8F2O2 and molecular weight 138.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Ethyl 3,3-difluoropropanoate (C5H8F2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 138.11 g/mol, it falls into the low-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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 3,3-difluoropropanoate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
