Chemical Structure

N-Acetyl-L-tryptophan CAS 1218-34-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of N-Acetyl-L-tryptophan 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.

N-Acetyl-L-tryptophan (CAS 1218-34-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H14N2O3 and a molecular weight of 246.26 g/mol.

N-Acetyl-L-tryptophan (C13H14N2O3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures N-Acetyl-L-tryptophan 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.
