Chemical Structure

(S)-2-Amino-4-(aminooxy)butanoic acid CAS 496-93-5 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.

(S)-2-Amino-4-(aminooxy)butanoic acid (CAS 496-93-5), molecular formula C4H10N2O3 and molecular weight 134.13 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, (S)-2-Amino-4-(aminooxy)butanoic acid is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 134.13 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.

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.
