Chemical Structure

(R,S)-alpha-Methyldopamine Hydrobromide CAS 3459-15-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (R,S)-alpha-Methyldopamine Hydrobromide is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies (R,S)-alpha-Methyldopamine Hydrobromide (CAS 3459-15-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H13NO2HBr, MW 248.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, (R,S)-alpha-Methyldopamine Hydrobromide is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 248.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures (R,S)-alpha-Methyldopamine Hydrobromide 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.
