Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-hydroxy-2-methylbutanoate CAS 91600-33-8 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 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-hydroxy-2-methylbutanoate.

Ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-hydroxy-2-methylbutanoate (CAS 91600-33-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H11F3O3 and a molecular weight of 200.16 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-hydroxy-2-methylbutanoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 200.16 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.

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.
