Chemical Structure

4-Methoxy-1,2,5-oxadiazole-3-carboxylic acid CAS 1369245-82-8 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 4-Methoxy-1,2,5-oxadiazole-3-carboxylic acid (C4H4N2O4) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 144.09 g/mol, it falls into the low-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.

4-Methoxy-1,2,5-oxadiazole-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 1369245-82-8), molecular formula C4H4N2O4 and molecular weight 144.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
