Chemical Structure

Ethyl 1,3-dimethyl-2-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylate CAS 71172-95-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 1,3-dimethyl-2-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylate 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.

Ethyl 1,3-dimethyl-2-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylate (CAS 71172-95-7), molecular formula C9H15NO3 and molecular weight 185.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 1,3-dimethyl-2-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylate (C9H15NO3) 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. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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), Ethyl 1,3-dimethyl-2-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxylate 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.
