Chemical Structure

tert-Butyl (2-hydroxyethyl)glycinate CAS 66937-71-1 chemical structure

Description

tert-Butyl (2-hydroxyethyl)glycinate (CAS 66937-71-1), molecular formula C8H17NO3 and molecular weight 175.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, tert-Butyl (2-hydroxyethyl)glycinate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 175.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), tert-Butyl (2-hydroxyethyl)glycinate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
