Chemical Structure

2-(2-Oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl 2-ethoxybenzoate CAS 721898-80-2 chemical structure

Description

2-(2-Oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl 2-ethoxybenzoate (CAS 721898-80-2), molecular formula C15H19NO4 and molecular weight 277.32 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-(2-Oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl 2-ethoxybenzoate (C15H19NO4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, 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), 2-(2-Oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl 2-ethoxybenzoate 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.
