Chemical Structure

2-[(Hydroxymethyl)amino]ethanol CAS 65184-12-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-[(Hydroxymethyl)amino]ethanol 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.

CATO supplies 2-[(Hydroxymethyl)amino]ethanol (CAS 65184-12-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C3H9NO2, MW 91.11 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C3H9NO2, 2-[(Hydroxymethyl)amino]ethanol contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 91.11 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO manufactures 2-[(Hydroxymethyl)amino]ethanol 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.
