Chemical Structure

5-(Chloromethyl)-1,2-oxazole CAS 57777-33-0 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C4H4ClNO, 5-(Chloromethyl)-1,2-oxazole contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 117.53 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

5-(Chloromethyl)-1,2-oxazole (CAS 57777-33-0), molecular formula C4H4ClNO and molecular weight 117.53 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
