Ethyl 3-chloro-2-oxopentanoate CAS 50774-87-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Ethyl 3-chloro-2-oxopentanoate 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.

CATO supplies Ethyl 3-chloro-2-oxopentanoate (CAS 50774-87-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H11ClO3, MW 178.61 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 3-chloro-2-oxopentanoate (C7H11ClO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
