Chemical Structure

2-[5-methyl-2-(thiophen-2-yl)-1,3-oxazol-4-yl]acetonitrile CAS 403611-87-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-[5-methyl-2-(thiophen-2-yl)-1,3-oxazol-4-yl]acetonitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-[5-methyl-2-(thiophen-2-yl)-1,3-oxazol-4-yl]acetonitrile (CAS 403611-87-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H8N2OS, MW 204.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-[5-methyl-2-(thiophen-2-yl)-1,3-oxazol-4-yl]acetonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 204.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
