Chemical Structure

3-(Chloromethyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole-5-carboxamide CAS 25977-21-3 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 3-(Chloromethyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole-5-carboxamide (C4H4ClN3O2) is characterized by an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

3-(Chloromethyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole-5-carboxamide (CAS 25977-21-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H4ClN3O2 and a molecular weight of 161.55 g/mol.

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