Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 260.33 g/mol gives ethyl 2-[benzyl(3-cyanopropyl)amino]acetate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
ethyl 2-[benzyl(3-cyanopropyl)amino]acetate (CAS 194874-12-9), molecular formula C15H20N2O2 and molecular weight 260.33 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, ethyl 2-[benzyl(3-cyanopropyl)amino]acetate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 260.33 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.
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), ethyl 2-[benzyl(3-cyanopropyl)amino]acetate 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.
