Chemical Structure

Ethyl 4-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-4-oxobutanoate CAS 951886-34-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Ethyl 4-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-4-oxobutanoate (CAS 951886-34-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H12ClFO3, MW 258.67 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Ethyl 4-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-4-oxobutanoate (C12H12ClFO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 4-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-4-oxobutanoate 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.
