Chemical Structure

5-Chloro-4-methylisoxazole-3-carboxylic acid CAS 3357-01-5 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 5-Chloro-4-methylisoxazole-3-carboxylic acid.

5-Chloro-4-methylisoxazole-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 3357-01-5), molecular formula C5H4ClNO3 and molecular weight 161.54 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 5-Chloro-4-methylisoxazole-3-carboxylic acid (C5H4ClNO3) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 161.54 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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.

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.
