The occurrence of Ethyl 2-[(2-cyanoethyl)(4-methoxyphenyl)amino]acetate is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Ethyl 2-[(2-cyanoethyl)(4-methoxyphenyl)amino]acetate (CAS 117652-36-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C14H18N2O3, MW 262.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of Ethyl 2-[(2-cyanoethyl)(4-methoxyphenyl)amino]acetate (C14H18N2O3) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
