5-Chlorobenzo[d]oxazole-2-carbonitrile CAS 33652-89-0 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 5-Chlorobenzo[d]oxazole-2-carbonitrile (CAS 33652-89-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H3ClN2O, MW 178.58 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

5-Chlorobenzo[d]oxazole-2-carbonitrile (C8H3ClN2O) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

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.
