Chemical Structure

Dimethyl 2-ethyl-2-methylmalonate CAS 2917-78-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Dimethyl 2-ethyl-2-methylmalonate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Dimethyl 2-ethyl-2-methylmalonate (CAS 2917-78-4), molecular formula C8H14O4 and molecular weight 174.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Dimethyl 2-ethyl-2-methylmalonate (C8H14O4) 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 174.19 g/mol, it falls into the medium-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.
