2-(2-Oxobenzo[d]oxazol-3(2h)-yl)acetonitrile CAS 13610-48-5 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(2-Oxobenzo[d]oxazol-3(2h)-yl)acetonitrile.

2-(2-Oxobenzo[d]oxazol-3(2h)-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 13610-48-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H6N2O2 and a molecular weight of 174.16 g/mol.

Structurally, 2-(2-Oxobenzo[d]oxazol-3(2h)-yl)acetonitrile (C9H6N2O2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 174.16 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
