Chemical Structure

2-Benzamido-2-(hydroxymethyl)-3-methylbutanoic acid CAS 52421-46-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Benzamido-2-(hydroxymethyl)-3-methylbutanoic acid is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-Benzamido-2-(hydroxymethyl)-3-methylbutanoic acid (CAS 52421-46-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H16NO4, MW 250.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2-Benzamido-2-(hydroxymethyl)-3-methylbutanoic acid (C13H16NO4) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures 2-Benzamido-2-(hydroxymethyl)-3-methylbutanoic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
