(R)-2-Amino-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanol hydrochloride (CAS 221697-18-3), molecular formula C9H13NO2HCl and molecular weight 203.67 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C9H13NO2HCl, (R)-2-Amino-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanol hydrochloride contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 203.67 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
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.
