Chemical Structure

Diethyl 2-iodomalonate CAS 73817-95-5 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C7H11IO4, Diethyl 2-iodomalonate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 286.06 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

CATO supplies Diethyl 2-iodomalonate (CAS 73817-95-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H11IO4, MW 286.06 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.
