Chemical Structure

N-Acetyl-D-phenylalanine CAS 10172-89-1 chemical structure

Description

N-Acetyl-D-phenylalanine (CAS 10172-89-1), molecular formula C11H13NO3 and molecular weight 207.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of N-Acetyl-D-phenylalanine (C11H13NO3) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), N-Acetyl-D-phenylalanine 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.
