Chemical Structure

3-(2H-1,3-benzodioxol-4-yl)propanoic acid CAS 20974-68-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(2H-1,3-benzodioxol-4-yl)propanoic acid 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.

3-(2H-1,3-benzodioxol-4-yl)propanoic acid (CAS 20974-68-9), molecular formula C14H12N4O4 and molecular weight 300.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 3-(2H-1,3-benzodioxol-4-yl)propanoic acid (C14H12N4O4) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

CATO manufactures 3-(2H-1,3-benzodioxol-4-yl)propanoic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
