Chemical Structure

(S)-N-(2-Oxotetrahydrofuran-3-yl)propionamide CAS 478240-81-2 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies (S)-N-(2-Oxotetrahydrofuran-3-yl)propionamide (CAS 478240-81-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H11NO3, MW 157.17 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of (S)-N-(2-Oxotetrahydrofuran-3-yl)propionamide (C7H11NO3) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide 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).

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.
