2-Hydroxy-N-pentanoylbenzamide (CAS 56429-73-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H15NO3 and a molecular weight of 221.25 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C12H15NO3, 2-Hydroxy-N-pentanoylbenzamide contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 221.25 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
CATO manufactures 2-Hydroxy-N-pentanoylbenzamide 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.
