Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-ethyl-4-methylisoxazole-3-carboxylate CAS 160850-63-5 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 5-ethyl-4-methylisoxazole-3-carboxylate (CAS 160850-63-5), molecular formula C8H11NO3 and molecular weight 169.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Methyl 5-ethyl-4-methylisoxazole-3-carboxylate (C8H11NO3) 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.

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 Methyl 5-ethyl-4-methylisoxazole-3-carboxylate 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.
