Chemical Structure

Ethyl 3-chloro-2,2-dimethylbut-3-enoate CAS 97987-62-7 chemical structure

Description

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.

Ethyl 3-chloro-2,2-dimethylbut-3-enoate (CAS 97987-62-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H13ClO2 and a molecular weight of 176.64 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Ethyl 3-chloro-2,2-dimethylbut-3-enoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 176.64 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.

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.
