Chemical Structure

tert-Butyl 2-(methylamino)-2-oxoethylcarbamate CAS 88815-85-4 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of tert-Butyl 2-(methylamino)-2-oxoethylcarbamate (C8H16N2O3) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

tert-Butyl 2-(methylamino)-2-oxoethylcarbamate (CAS 88815-85-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H16N2O3 and a molecular weight of 188.22 g/mol.

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.
