Chemical Structure

Amantadine CAS 768-94-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Amantadine is closely related to a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Amantadine (CAS 768-94-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H17N and a molecular weight of 151.25 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C10H17N, Amantadine contains a nitrile group; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 151.25 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
