The occurrence of 5-(Methylthio)isoxazole-3-carboxylic acid is closely related to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 5-(Methylthio)isoxazole-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 1239775-12-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H5NO3S, MW 159.16 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
5-(Methylthio)isoxazole-3-carboxylic acid (C5H5NO3S) contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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 5-(Methylthio)isoxazole-3-carboxylic acid 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.
