Chemical Structure

2-Ethyl-5-methylbenzoxazole CAS 20514-29-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Ethyl-5-methylbenzoxazole is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Ethyl-5-methylbenzoxazole (CAS 20514-29-8), molecular formula C10H11NO and molecular weight 161.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Ethyl-5-methylbenzoxazole (C10H11NO) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures 2-Ethyl-5-methylbenzoxazole 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.
