Chemical Structure

Diethyl 2-methylsuccinate CAS 4676-51-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Diethyl 2-methylsuccinate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Diethyl 2-methylsuccinate (CAS 4676-51-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H16O4 and a molecular weight of 188.22 g/mol.

Structurally, Diethyl 2-methylsuccinate (C9H16O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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 188.22 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), Diethyl 2-methylsuccinate 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.
