The occurrence of 3-Methyl-5-(trichloromethyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole is closely related to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
3-Methyl-5-(trichloromethyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (CAS 1195-25-1), molecular formula C4H3Cl3N2O and molecular weight 201.44 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
3-Methyl-5-(trichloromethyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (C4H3Cl3N2O) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).
