Chemical Structure

3-(3-Hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl) alanine CAS 35296-56-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 211.21 g/mol gives 3-(3-Hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl) alanine distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 3-(3-Hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl) alanine (CAS 35296-56-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H13NO4, MW 211.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-(3-Hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl) alanine is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 211.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-(3-Hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl) alanine 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.
