Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 382.25 g/mol gives Tert-butyl (S)-8-bromo-5-oxo-1,2,4,4a,5,6-hexahydro-3H-pyrazino[1,2-a]quinoxaline-3-carboxylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Tert-butyl (S)-8-bromo-5-oxo-1,2,4,4a,5,6-hexahydro-3H-pyrazino[1,2-a]quinoxaline-3-carboxylate (CAS 2456504-40-6), molecular formula C16H20BrN3O3 and molecular weight 382.25 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, bromine substitution, Tert-butyl (S)-8-bromo-5-oxo-1,2,4,4a,5,6-hexahydro-3H-pyrazino[1,2-a]quinoxaline-3-carboxylate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 382.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
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.
