Chemical Structure

rac α-Amino-3,4-dimethoxy-α-methylbenzenepropanenitrile HCl CAS 2544-12-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of rac α-Amino-3,4-dimethoxy-α-methylbenzenepropanenitrile HCl is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies rac α-Amino-3,4-dimethoxy-α-methylbenzenepropanenitrile HCl (CAS 2544-12-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H16N2O2HCl, MW 256.73 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, rac α-Amino-3,4-dimethoxy-α-methylbenzenepropanenitrile HCl (C12H16N2O2HCl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 256.73 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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 rac α-Amino-3,4-dimethoxy-α-methylbenzenepropanenitrile HCl 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.
