Chemical Structure

Oxazole-2-carbonitrile CAS 68776-60-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 94.07 g/mol gives Oxazole-2-carbonitrile distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Oxazole-2-carbonitrile (CAS 68776-60-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H2N2O and a molecular weight of 94.07 g/mol.

Structurally, Oxazole-2-carbonitrile (C4H2N2O) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 94.07 g/mol, it falls into the low-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).

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.
