As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-[3-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl]-propanoic acid 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.
3-[3-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl]-propanoic acid (CAS 738593-99-2), molecular formula C13H14N2O5 and molecular weight 278.26 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-[3-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl]-propanoic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 278.26 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
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.
