Methyl 3,4-dichloro-4-oxobutanoate CAS 768401-35-0

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 3,4-dichloro-4-oxobutanoate.

Methyl 3,4-dichloro-4-oxobutanoate (CAS 768401-35-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H6Cl2O3 and a molecular weight of 185.01 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Methyl 3,4-dichloro-4-oxobutanoate (C5H6Cl2O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
