Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 286.73 g/mol gives Ethyl 6-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-6-oxohexanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Ethyl 6-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-6-oxohexanoate (CAS 951886-40-1), molecular formula C14H16ClFO3 and molecular weight 286.73 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/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Ethyl 6-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)-6-oxohexanoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 286.73 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).
