Chemical Structure

tert-butyl 2-amino-3-phenylpropanoate CAS 16367-71-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of tert-butyl 2-amino-3-phenylpropanoate 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.

CATO supplies tert-butyl 2-amino-3-phenylpropanoate (CAS 16367-71-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H19NO2, MW 221.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C13H19NO2, tert-butyl 2-amino-3-phenylpropanoate contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 221.30 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), tert-butyl 2-amino-3-phenylpropanoate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
