Chemical Structure

(S)-2-(4-Ethyl-2-oxooxazolidin-3-yl)benzonitrile CAS 572923-15-0 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies (S)-2-(4-Ethyl-2-oxooxazolidin-3-yl)benzonitrile (CAS 572923-15-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H12N2O2, MW 216.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

(S)-2-(4-Ethyl-2-oxooxazolidin-3-yl)benzonitrile (C12H12N2O2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, 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. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
