The occurrence of 6-Methoxybenzo[d]oxazol-2-amine is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
6-Methoxybenzo[d]oxazol-2-amine (CAS 13895-08-4), molecular formula C8H8N2O2 and molecular weight 164.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 6-Methoxybenzo[d]oxazol-2-amine is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 164.16 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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 6-Methoxybenzo[d]oxazol-2-amine 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.
