Chemical Structure

(4-(Difluoromethyl)oxazol-5-yl)methanol CAS 1936361-74-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (4-(Difluoromethyl)oxazol-5-yl)methanol is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(4-(Difluoromethyl)oxazol-5-yl)methanol (CAS 1936361-74-8), molecular formula C5H5F2NO2 and molecular weight 149.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, (4-(Difluoromethyl)oxazol-5-yl)methanol is typically white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 149.10 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.

CATO manufactures (4-(Difluoromethyl)oxazol-5-yl)methanol 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.
