Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-nitroisoxazole-5-carboxylate CAS 40995-06-0 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, Methyl 3-nitroisoxazole-5-carboxylate (C5H4N2O5) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 172.10 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).
