Chemical Structure

1,2,4-Oxadiazole-3-carboxamide CAS 39512-74-8 chemical structure

Description

1,2,4-Oxadiazole-3-carboxamide (CAS 39512-74-8), molecular formula C3H3N3O2 and molecular weight 113.07 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 1,2,4-Oxadiazole-3-carboxamide is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 113.07 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).

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.
