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.
3-(Chloromethyl)-5-(methoxymethyl)isoxazole (CAS 167155-52-4), molecular formula C6H8ClNO2 and molecular weight 161.59 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 3-(Chloromethyl)-5-(methoxymethyl)isoxazole (C6H8ClNO2) is characterized by an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-(Chloromethyl)-5-(methoxymethyl)isoxazole 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.
