Chemical Structure

2-hydroxy-5-methyl-1,3-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid CAS 1505865-51-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-hydroxy-5-methyl-1,3-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid (CAS 1505865-51-9), molecular formula C5H5NO3S and molecular weight 159.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-hydroxy-5-methyl-1,3-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid (C5H5NO3S) is characterized by an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-hydroxy-5-methyl-1,3-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
