Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-cyano-2,2-difluorobutanoate CAS 295360-08-6 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Ethyl 4-cyano-2,2-difluorobutanoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.

Ethyl 4-cyano-2,2-difluorobutanoate (CAS 295360-08-6), molecular formula C7H9F2NO2 and molecular weight 177.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Ethyl 4-cyano-2,2-difluorobutanoate is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 177.15 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
