Chemical Structure

2-(4-Amino-3-oxoisoxazolidin-2-yl)acetic acid CAS 559208-67-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(4-Amino-3-oxoisoxazolidin-2-yl)acetic acid is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(4-Amino-3-oxoisoxazolidin-2-yl)acetic acid (CAS 559208-67-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H8N2O4 and a molecular weight of 160.13 g/mol.

Structurally, 2-(4-Amino-3-oxoisoxazolidin-2-yl)acetic acid (C5H8N2O4) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 160.13 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).
