Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-chloro-4-methoxy-3-oxobutanoate CAS 84746-34-9 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 2-chloro-4-methoxy-3-oxobutanoate 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.

CATO supplies Methyl 2-chloro-4-methoxy-3-oxobutanoate (CAS 84746-34-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H9ClO4, MW 180.59 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Methyl 2-chloro-4-methoxy-3-oxobutanoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 180.59 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
