Chemical Structure

DL-Phenylalanine-d5 CAS 284664-89-7 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

DL-Phenylalanine-d5 (CAS 284664-89-7), molecular formula C9H6D5NO2 and molecular weight 170.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to deuterium isotope labeling, an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, DL-Phenylalanine-d5 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 170.22 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).

As a certified reference material (CRM), DL-Phenylalanine-d5 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
