Chemical Structure

N-Acetyl-2-benzyl-tryptamine CAS 117946-91-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of N-Acetyl-2-benzyl-tryptamine is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies N-Acetyl-2-benzyl-tryptamine (CAS 117946-91-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C19H20N2O, MW 292.37 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of N-Acetyl-2-benzyl-tryptamine (C19H20N2O) is characterized by a steroid core, 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 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.
