Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-(4-fluorobenzyl)-3-oxobutanoate CAS 88023-07-8 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 2-(4-fluorobenzyl)-3-oxobutanoate.

Ethyl 2-(4-fluorobenzyl)-3-oxobutanoate (CAS 88023-07-8), molecular formula C13H15FO3 and molecular weight 238.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 2-(4-fluorobenzyl)-3-oxobutanoate (C13H15FO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 Ethyl 2-(4-fluorobenzyl)-3-oxobutanoate 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.
