Chemical Structure

Ethyl 5-(hydroxymethyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate CAS 836649-58-2 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 5-(hydroxymethyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate (CAS 836649-58-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H11NO3 and a molecular weight of 169.18 g/mol.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Ethyl 5-(hydroxymethyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 169.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

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.
