Chemical Structure

N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)lactamide CAS 5422-34-4 chemical structure

Description

N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)lactamide (CAS 5422-34-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H11NO3 and a molecular weight of 133.15 g/mol.

Structurally, N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)lactamide (C5H11NO3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 133.15 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
