Chemical Structure

2-(5-Phenyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)benzoic acid CAS 23464-97-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(5-Phenyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)benzoic acid 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-(5-Phenyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)benzoic acid (CAS 23464-97-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H11NO3 and a molecular weight of 265.26 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-(5-Phenyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)benzoic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 265.26 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), 2-(5-Phenyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)benzoic acid 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.
