Chemical Structure

(Methoxycarbonyl)-L-leucine CAS 74761-37-8 chemical structure

Description

(Methoxycarbonyl)-L-leucine (CAS 74761-37-8), molecular formula C8H15NO4 and molecular weight 189.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

(Methoxycarbonyl)-L-leucine (C8H15NO4) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures (Methoxycarbonyl)-L-leucine 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.
