Chemical Structure

3-(2,3-Dihydro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propanoic acid CAS 463325-91-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-(2,3-Dihydro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propanoic acid.

3-(2,3-Dihydro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propanoic acid (CAS 463325-91-9), molecular formula C6H10N2O2 and molecular weight 142.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-(2,3-Dihydro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)propanoic acid is typically white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 142.16 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
