Chemical Structure

Ethyl 3-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-3-oxopropanoate CAS 72835-87-1 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 3-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-3-oxopropanoate (CAS 72835-87-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H10Cl2O3 and a molecular weight of 261.10 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C11H10Cl2O3, Ethyl 3-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-3-oxopropanoate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 261.10 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-3-oxopropanoate 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.
