Chemical Structure

5-[(4-Fluorophenoxy)methyl]-3-phenyl-1,2-oxazole CAS 551921-34-7 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies 5-[(4-Fluorophenoxy)methyl]-3-phenyl-1,2-oxazole (CAS 551921-34-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H12FNO2, MW 269.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

5-[(4-Fluorophenoxy)methyl]-3-phenyl-1,2-oxazole (C16H12FNO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
