Chemical Structure

(4<I>S</I>,5<I>R</I>)-(-)-4-methyl-5-phenyl-2-oxazolinone CAS 16251-45-9 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of (4<I>S</I>,5<I>R</I>)-(-)-4-methyl-5-phenyl-2-oxazolinone (C10H17NO2) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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.
