3-Ethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-amine (CAS 3663-40-9), molecular formula C4H7N3O and molecular weight 113.12 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-Ethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-amine is typically white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 113.12 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.
