5-Methyl-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole CAS 20304-86-3 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 5-Methyl-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole.

5-Methyl-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (CAS 20304-86-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H6N2O and a molecular weight of 134.14 g/mol.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 5-Methyl-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 134.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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), 5-Methyl-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole 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.
