Chemical Structure

Ethylene diformate CAS 629-15-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethylene diformate is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ethylene diformate (CAS 629-15-2), molecular formula C4H6O4 and molecular weight 118.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C4H6O4, Ethylene diformate contains a carbohydrate-derived structure; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 118.09 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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.
