Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-phenylbenzo[d]oxazole-5-carboxylate CAS 21095-63-6 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 2-phenylbenzo[d]oxazole-5-carboxylate (CAS 21095-63-6), molecular formula C15H11NO3 and molecular weight 253.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Methyl 2-phenylbenzo[d]oxazole-5-carboxylate (C15H11NO3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 11.0, corresponding to approximately 11 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 253.25 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
