Chemical Structure

2-Ethoxyethyl 3-oxobutanoate CAS 6963-40-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Ethoxyethyl 3-oxobutanoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Ethoxyethyl 3-oxobutanoate (CAS 6963-40-2), molecular formula C8H14O4 and molecular weight 174.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-Ethoxyethyl 3-oxobutanoate (C8H14O4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures 2-Ethoxyethyl 3-oxobutanoate 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.
