Chemical Structure

4-[4-(4-Chloro-phenoxy)-phenyl]-2,4-dioxo-butyric acid ethyl ester CAS 74649-80-2 chemical structure

Description

4-[4-(4-Chloro-phenoxy)-phenyl]-2,4-dioxo-butyric acid ethyl ester (CAS 74649-80-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H15ClO5 and a molecular weight of 346.76 g/mol.

4-[4-(4-Chloro-phenoxy)-phenyl]-2,4-dioxo-butyric acid ethyl ester (C18H15ClO5) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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), 4-[4-(4-Chloro-phenoxy)-phenyl]-2,4-dioxo-butyric acid ethyl ester 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.
