Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-hydroxy-3-oxobutanoate CAS 85518-49-6 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies Ethyl 4-hydroxy-3-oxobutanoate (CAS 85518-49-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H10O4, MW 146.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 4-hydroxy-3-oxobutanoate (C6H10O4) 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.

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.
