Chemical Structure
Description
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.
3-Ethoxy-2,2-difluoro-3-oxopropanoic acid (CAS 54404-52-3), molecular formula C5H6F2O4 and molecular weight 168.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 3-Ethoxy-2,2-difluoro-3-oxopropanoic acid (C5H6F2O4) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure, fluorine 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.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
