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.
5-(Chloromethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)oxazole (CAS 1279834-92-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H3ClF3NO and a molecular weight of 185.53 g/mol.
Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, 5-(Chloromethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)oxazole is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 185.53 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).
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.
