Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate CAS 70909-46-5 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.

Ethyl 4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate (CAS 70909-46-5), molecular formula C14H16O6 and molecular weight 280.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Ethyl 4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,4-dioxobutanoate (C14H16O6) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
