Chemical Structure

Ethyl 3-oxo-4-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)butanoate CAS 670275-62-4 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 3-oxo-4-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)butanoate (C10H16O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Ethyl 3-oxo-4-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)butanoate (CAS 670275-62-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H16O4 and a molecular weight of 200.23 g/mol.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 3-oxo-4-(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)butanoate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
