Chemical Structure

Ethyl 8-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-8-oxooctanoate CAS 898753-12-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 298.33 g/mol gives Ethyl 8-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-8-oxooctanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Ethyl 8-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-8-oxooctanoate (CAS 898753-12-3), molecular formula C16H20F2O3 and molecular weight 298.33 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 8-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-8-oxooctanoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 298.33 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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 8-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-8-oxooctanoate 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.
