Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-chloro-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate CAS 41381-97-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 2-chloro-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ethyl 2-chloro-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate (CAS 41381-97-9), molecular formula C11H11ClO3 and molecular weight 226.66 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Ethyl 2-chloro-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate (C11H11ClO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 226.66 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
