Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(2-methylpyridin-4-yl)-1,3-oxazole-4-carboxylate CAS 1287670-22-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Methyl 2-(2-methylpyridin-4-yl)-1,3-oxazole-4-carboxylate (CAS 1287670-22-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H10N2O3, MW 218.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 2-(2-methylpyridin-4-yl)-1,3-oxazole-4-carboxylate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 218.21 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).

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.
