Chemical Structure

(R)-2-Amino-2-phenylethanol hydrochloride CAS 85711-12-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies (R)-2-Amino-2-phenylethanol hydrochloride (CAS 85711-12-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H11NOHCl, MW 173.64 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, (R)-2-Amino-2-phenylethanol hydrochloride is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 173.64 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (R)-2-Amino-2-phenylethanol hydrochloride 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.
