Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-(2,3,5,6-tetramethylphenyl)-4-oxobutanoate CAS 40888-48-0 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 4-(2,3,5,6-tetramethylphenyl)-4-oxobutanoate.

CATO supplies Ethyl 4-(2,3,5,6-tetramethylphenyl)-4-oxobutanoate (CAS 40888-48-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H22O3, MW 262.34 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 4-(2,3,5,6-tetramethylphenyl)-4-oxobutanoate (C16H22O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures Ethyl 4-(2,3,5,6-tetramethylphenyl)-4-oxobutanoate 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.
