Chemical Structure

5-[(3,4-Dichlorophenoxy)methyl]-3-phenyl-1,2-oxazole CAS 478066-22-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 5-[(3,4-Dichlorophenoxy)methyl]-3-phenyl-1,2-oxazole.

CATO supplies 5-[(3,4-Dichlorophenoxy)methyl]-3-phenyl-1,2-oxazole (CAS 478066-22-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H11Cl2NO2, MW 320.17 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 5-[(3,4-Dichlorophenoxy)methyl]-3-phenyl-1,2-oxazole is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 320.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
