Chemical Structure

2-(5-Oxazolyl)benzoic Acid CAS 169508-94-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(5-Oxazolyl)benzoic Acid is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(5-Oxazolyl)benzoic Acid (CAS 169508-94-5), molecular formula C10H7NO3 and molecular weight 189.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-(5-Oxazolyl)benzoic Acid (C10H7NO3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures 2-(5-Oxazolyl)benzoic Acid 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.
