Chemical Structure

1-Formamidocyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid CAS 15026-77-4 chemical structure

Description

1-Formamidocyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid (CAS 15026-77-4), molecular formula C7H11NO3 and molecular weight 157.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

1-Formamidocyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid (C7H11NO3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, 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.

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.
