Chemical Structure

Ethyl 3-oxoheptanoate CAS 7737-62-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 3-oxoheptanoate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ethyl 3-oxoheptanoate (CAS 7737-62-4), molecular formula C9H16O3 and molecular weight 172.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 3-oxoheptanoate (C9H16O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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.

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), Ethyl 3-oxoheptanoate 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.
