6-Methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic Acid (CAS 77140-86-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H13NO3 and a molecular weight of 207.23 g/mol.
6-Methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic Acid (C11H13NO3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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), 6-Methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic Acid 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.
