Chemical Structure

2-(Chloromethyl)-5-hydroxybenzo[d]oxazole CAS 1803809-69-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(Chloromethyl)-5-hydroxybenzo[d]oxazole is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(Chloromethyl)-5-hydroxybenzo[d]oxazole (CAS 1803809-69-9), molecular formula C8H6ClNO2 and molecular weight 183.59 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-(Chloromethyl)-5-hydroxybenzo[d]oxazole (C8H6ClNO2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide 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.

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.
