Chemical Structure

Diethyl (2-oxo-4-phenylbutyl)phosphonate CAS 40601-45-4 chemical structure

Description

Diethyl (2-oxo-4-phenylbutyl)phosphonate (CAS 40601-45-4), molecular formula C14H21O4P and molecular weight 284.29 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Diethyl (2-oxo-4-phenylbutyl)phosphonate (C14H21O4P) contains a phosphate ester group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.5, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 284.29 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), Diethyl (2-oxo-4-phenylbutyl)phosphonate 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.
