Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 235.28 g/mol gives 5-Phenyl-2-(p-tolyl)oxazole distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 5-Phenyl-2-(p-tolyl)oxazole (CAS 16155-60-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H13NO, MW 235.28 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 5-Phenyl-2-(p-tolyl)oxazole is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 235.28 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.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Phenyl-2-(p-tolyl)oxazole 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.
