Chemical Structure

3-[4-(4-Methylphenyl)piperazin-1-yl]propanoic acid CAS 500294-65-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 248.32 g/mol gives 3-[4-(4-Methylphenyl)piperazin-1-yl]propanoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

3-[4-(4-Methylphenyl)piperazin-1-yl]propanoic acid (CAS 500294-65-5), molecular formula C14H20N2O2 and molecular weight 248.32 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-[4-(4-Methylphenyl)piperazin-1-yl]propanoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 248.32 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).

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

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.
