Chemical Structure

Diethyl2-(chloromethylene)malonate CAS 28783-51-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Diethyl2-(chloromethylene)malonate (CAS 28783-51-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H11ClO4, MW 206.62 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Diethyl2-(chloromethylene)malonate (C8H11ClO4) 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 206.62 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.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Diethyl2-(chloromethylene)malonate 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.
