Chemical Structure

2-{[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]amino}-3-methylbutanoic acid hydrochloride CAS 1396965-14-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-{[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]amino}-3-methylbutanoic acid hydrochloride is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-{[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]amino}-3-methylbutanoic acid hydrochloride (CAS 1396965-14-2), molecular formula C12H16ClNO2HCl and molecular weight 278.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 2-{[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]amino}-3-methylbutanoic acid hydrochloride is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 278.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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 2-{[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]amino}-3-methylbutanoic acid hydrochloride 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.
