Chemical Structure

(±)-3-Amino-1,2-propanediol CAS 616-30-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (±)-3-Amino-1,2-propanediol is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(±)-3-Amino-1,2-propanediol (CAS 616-30-8), molecular formula C3H9NO2 and molecular weight 91.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of (±)-3-Amino-1,2-propanediol (C3H9NO2) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
