Chemical Structure

Diethyl 2,3-difluoromaleate CAS 815-97-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Diethyl 2,3-difluoromaleate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Diethyl 2,3-difluoromaleate (CAS 815-97-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H10F2O4 and a molecular weight of 208.16 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C8H10F2O4, Diethyl 2,3-difluoromaleate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 208.16 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.

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.

CATO manufactures Diethyl 2,3-difluoromaleate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
