Ethyl 2-fluoro-3-oxohexanoate CAS 76435-44-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Ethyl 2-fluoro-3-oxohexanoate (CAS 76435-44-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H13FO3, MW 176.19 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C8H13FO3, Ethyl 2-fluoro-3-oxohexanoate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 176.19 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.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
