Chemical Structure

(R)-2-((Carboxymethyl)amino)propanoic acid CAS 66642-87-3 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (R)-2-((Carboxymethyl)amino)propanoic acid.

(R)-2-((Carboxymethyl)amino)propanoic acid (CAS 66642-87-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H9NO4 and a molecular weight of 147.13 g/mol.

The molecular framework of (R)-2-((Carboxymethyl)amino)propanoic acid (C5H9NO4) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group. 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.
