Chemical Structure

O-(2-Nitrobenzyl)-L-tyrosine CAS 184591-51-3 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, O-(2-Nitrobenzyl)-L-tyrosine is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 316.31 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

CATO supplies O-(2-Nitrobenzyl)-L-tyrosine (CAS 184591-51-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H16N2O5, MW 316.31 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.
