CAS 607-97-6 — Ethyl 2-ethylacetoacetate

Ethyl 2-ethylacetoacetate (CAS 607-97-6) is a beta-keto ester widely used as a solvent, intermediate in organic synthesis, and in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fragrances. It serves as a key building block in the preparation of heterocycles, dyes, and other fine chemicals due to its reactivity in Knoevenagel and Claisen condensations. This chemical has the molecular formula CH3COCH(C2H5)COOC2H5 and a molecular weight of 158.19 g/mol. It is typically stored at ambient conditions under proper ventilation. The product carries a **Warning** signal word under GHS classification. Molekula supplies Ethyl 2-ethylacetoacetate from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
