Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2,2-dihydroxy-3-oxobutanoate CAS 53952-33-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 162.14 g/mol gives Ethyl 2,2-dihydroxy-3-oxobutanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Ethyl 2,2-dihydroxy-3-oxobutanoate (CAS 53952-33-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H10O5, MW 162.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Ethyl 2,2-dihydroxy-3-oxobutanoate (C6H10O5) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

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.

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.
