Ethyl 2,2,4-trichloro-3-oxobutanoate (CAS 85153-67-9), molecular formula C6H7Cl3O3 and molecular weight 233.48 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Ethyl 2,2,4-trichloro-3-oxobutanoate (C6H7Cl3O3) 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.
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.
