4-(4-(Bis(2-chloroethyl)amino)benzylidene)-2-phenyloxazol-5(4H)-one (CAS 18776-75-5), molecular formula C20H18Cl2N2O2 and molecular weight 389.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
4-(4-(Bis(2-chloroethyl)amino)benzylidene)-2-phenyloxazol-5(4H)-one (C20H18Cl2N2O2) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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).
As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-(4-(Bis(2-chloroethyl)amino)benzylidene)-2-phenyloxazol-5(4H)-one 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.
