Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-chloro-4-methyl-3-oxopentanoate CAS 35391-60-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Ethyl 2-chloro-4-methyl-3-oxopentanoate.

CATO supplies Ethyl 2-chloro-4-methyl-3-oxopentanoate (CAS 35391-60-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H13ClO3, MW 192.64 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Ethyl 2-chloro-4-methyl-3-oxopentanoate (C8H13ClO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. 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 192.64 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.

CATO manufactures Ethyl 2-chloro-4-methyl-3-oxopentanoate 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.
