Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of Ethyl 2-amino-2-cyanoacetate hydrochloride is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Ethyl 2-amino-2-cyanoacetate hydrochloride (CAS 901776-89-4), molecular formula C5H8N2O2HCl and molecular weight 164.59 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Ethyl 2-amino-2-cyanoacetate hydrochloride is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 164.59 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
CATO manufactures Ethyl 2-amino-2-cyanoacetate hydrochloride under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
