Chemical Structure

Z-Phe-DL-Ala-fluoromethylketone CAS 197855-65-5 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Z-Phe-DL-Ala-fluoromethylketone (CAS 197855-65-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C21H23FN2O4, MW 386.42 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Z-Phe-DL-Ala-fluoromethylketone is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 386.42 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
