Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate CAS 478868-68-7 chemical structure

Description

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

Ethyl 4-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate (CAS 478868-68-7), molecular formula C12H10Cl2O4 and molecular weight 289.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 4-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate (C12H10Cl2O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 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).

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.
