Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2,4-dioxo-4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]butanoate CAS 737772-45-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 2,4-dioxo-4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]butanoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ethyl 2,4-dioxo-4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]butanoate (CAS 737772-45-1), molecular formula C13H11F3O4 and molecular weight 288.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Ethyl 2,4-dioxo-4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]butanoate (C13H11F3O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 Ethyl 2,4-dioxo-4-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]butanoate 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.
