Chemical Structure

(S)-2-Dodecanamido-5-guanidinopentanoic acid CAS 42492-22-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (S)-2-Dodecanamido-5-guanidinopentanoic acid is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(S)-2-Dodecanamido-5-guanidinopentanoic acid (CAS 42492-22-8), molecular formula C18H36N4O3 and molecular weight 356.50 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of (S)-2-Dodecanamido-5-guanidinopentanoic acid (C18H36N4O3) is characterized by an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), (S)-2-Dodecanamido-5-guanidinopentanoic acid 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.
