Chemical Structure

4-(Bromomethyl)isoxazole CAS 6455-40-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

4-(Bromomethyl)isoxazole (CAS 6455-40-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H4BrNO and a molecular weight of 161.98 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 4-(Bromomethyl)isoxazole (C4H4BrNO) is characterized by an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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