Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-chloro-4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate CAS 363-58-6 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 2-chloro-4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate (CAS 363-58-6), molecular formula C6H6ClF3O3 and molecular weight 218.56 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Ethyl 2-chloro-4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate (C6H6ClF3O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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-4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate 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.
