Chemical Structure

3-Oxo-2,3-dihydroisoxazole-4-carboxylic acid CAS 178316-78-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 3-Oxo-2,3-dihydroisoxazole-4-carboxylic acid (CAS 178316-78-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H3NO4, MW 129.07 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group, 3-Oxo-2,3-dihydroisoxazole-4-carboxylic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 129.07 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
