Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 452.36 g/mol gives 3-Methyl-2-((1-(3-(trimethylammonio)propyl)pyridin-4(1H)-ylidene)methyl)benzo[d]oxazol-3-ium iodide distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
3-Methyl-2-((1-(3-(trimethylammonio)propyl)pyridin-4(1H)-ylidene)methyl)benzo[d]oxazol-3-ium iodide (CAS 157199-56-9), molecular formula C20H27N3OI and molecular weight 452.36 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, 3-Methyl-2-((1-(3-(trimethylammonio)propyl)pyridin-4(1H)-ylidene)methyl)benzo[d]oxazol-3-ium iodide (C20H27N3OI) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.5, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 452.36 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Methyl-2-((1-(3-(trimethylammonio)propyl)pyridin-4(1H)-ylidene)methyl)benzo[d]oxazol-3-ium iodide 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.
