Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 173.64 g/mol gives 3-tert-Butyl-5-(chloromethyl)isoxazole distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
3-tert-Butyl-5-(chloromethyl)isoxazole (CAS 69602-60-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H12ClNO and a molecular weight of 173.64 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 3-tert-Butyl-5-(chloromethyl)isoxazole (C8H12ClNO) is characterized by an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
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.
