Chemical Structure

Midazolam 2-Oxide CAS 59468-86-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Midazolam 2-Oxide is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Midazolam 2-Oxide (CAS 59468-86-9), molecular formula C18H28ClFN3O and molecular weight 356.89 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C18H28ClFN3O, Midazolam 2-Oxide contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 356.89 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Midazolam 2-Oxide meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
