Chemical Structure

2-Methyl-5-(4-nitrophenyl)oxazole CAS 31699-02-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-Methyl-5-(4-nitrophenyl)oxazole (CAS 31699-02-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H8N2O3 and a molecular weight of 204.18 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-Methyl-5-(4-nitrophenyl)oxazole (C10H8N2O3) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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. 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).

CATO manufactures 2-Methyl-5-(4-nitrophenyl)oxazole 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.
