Chemical Structure

2-(Butylamino)-2-oxoethyl 5-bromonicotinate CAS 878908-86-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 315.16 g/mol gives 2-(Butylamino)-2-oxoethyl 5-bromonicotinate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-(Butylamino)-2-oxoethyl 5-bromonicotinate (CAS 878908-86-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H15BrN2O3 and a molecular weight of 315.16 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, 2-(Butylamino)-2-oxoethyl 5-bromonicotinate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 315.16 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).

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.

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.
