Chemical Structure

Ethyl 6-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-6-oxohexanoate CAS 898752-40-4 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 6-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-6-oxohexanoate.

Ethyl 6-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-6-oxohexanoate (CAS 898752-40-4), molecular formula C14H16F2O3 and molecular weight 270.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Ethyl 6-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-6-oxohexanoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 270.27 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.
