Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-oxo-2-(2,3,4,5,6-pentamethylphenyl)acetate CAS 951888-76-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 2-oxo-2-(2,3,4,5,6-pentamethylphenyl)acetate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Ethyl 2-oxo-2-(2,3,4,5,6-pentamethylphenyl)acetate (CAS 951888-76-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H20O3, MW 248.32 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Ethyl 2-oxo-2-(2,3,4,5,6-pentamethylphenyl)acetate (C15H20O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 248.32 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 2-oxo-2-(2,3,4,5,6-pentamethylphenyl)acetate 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.
