Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-acetamido-2-hydroxyacetate CAS 112051-97-5 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group, Methyl 2-acetamido-2-hydroxyacetate is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 147.13 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.

Methyl 2-acetamido-2-hydroxyacetate (CAS 112051-97-5), molecular formula C5H9NO4 and molecular weight 147.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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

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.
