2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzo[d]oxazole CAS 2008-04-0 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzo[d]oxazole.

2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzo[d]oxazole (CAS 2008-04-0), molecular formula C8H4F3NO and molecular weight 187.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C8H4F3NO, 2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzo[d]oxazole contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 187.12 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzo[d]oxazole 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.
