Chemical Structure

Ethyl 3-(2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)propanoate CAS 90734-80-8 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 3-(2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)propanoate (CAS 90734-80-8), molecular formula C11H16O6 and molecular weight 244.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Ethyl 3-(2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)propanoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 244.24 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 3-(2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)propanoate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
