Chemical Structure

(S)-2-(Boc-amino)-2-cyclopentylacetic Acid CAS 109183-72-4 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (S)-2-(Boc-amino)-2-cyclopentylacetic Acid.

(S)-2-(Boc-amino)-2-cyclopentylacetic Acid (CAS 109183-72-4), molecular formula C12H21NO4 and molecular weight 243.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (S)-2-(Boc-amino)-2-cyclopentylacetic Acid is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 243.30 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

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.
