Chemical Structure

5-Methylisoxazole-4-sulfonic acid CAS 773051-56-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

5-Methylisoxazole-4-sulfonic acid (CAS 773051-56-2), molecular formula C4H5NO4S and molecular weight 163.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group, a sulfone group, 5-Methylisoxazole-4-sulfonic acid is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 163.15 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).

CATO manufactures 5-Methylisoxazole-4-sulfonic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
