Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-oxo-4-(3,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butyrate CAS 898752-49-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 4-oxo-4-(3,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butyrate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Ethyl 4-oxo-4-(3,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butyrate (CAS 898752-49-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H11F3O3, MW 260.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Ethyl 4-oxo-4-(3,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butyrate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 260.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
