Chemical Structure

(4R,5S)-Methyl 5-isopropyl-4,5-dihydrooxazole-4-carboxylate CAS 339034-76-3 chemical structure

Description

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

CATO supplies (4R,5S)-Methyl 5-isopropyl-4,5-dihydrooxazole-4-carboxylate (CAS 339034-76-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H13NO3, MW 171.19 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (4R,5S)-Methyl 5-isopropyl-4,5-dihydrooxazole-4-carboxylate is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 171.19 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.
