Chemical Structure

4-(Hydroxymethyl)oxazolidin-2-one CAS 15546-08-4 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.

4-(Hydroxymethyl)oxazolidin-2-one (CAS 15546-08-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H7NO3 and a molecular weight of 117.10 g/mol.

4-(Hydroxymethyl)oxazolidin-2-one (C4H7NO3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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), 4-(Hydroxymethyl)oxazolidin-2-one 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.
