Chemical Structure

Methyl (R)-2-(benzylamino)-2-phenylacetate CAS 121440-91-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl (R)-2-(benzylamino)-2-phenylacetate 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.

Methyl (R)-2-(benzylamino)-2-phenylacetate (CAS 121440-91-3), molecular formula C16H17NO2 and molecular weight 255.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Methyl (R)-2-(benzylamino)-2-phenylacetate (C16H17NO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures Methyl (R)-2-(benzylamino)-2-phenylacetate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
