The occurrence of diethyl (oxiran-2-ylmethyl)phosphonate is closely related to a phosphate ester group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
diethyl (oxiran-2-ylmethyl)phosphonate (CAS 7316-37-2), molecular formula C7H15O4P and molecular weight 194.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a phosphate ester group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, diethyl (oxiran-2-ylmethyl)phosphonate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 194.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.
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), diethyl (oxiran-2-ylmethyl)phosphonate 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.
