Chemical Structure

3-Methyl-5-oxoisoxazole-2(5H)-carboxamide CAS 77643-86-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-Methyl-5-oxoisoxazole-2(5H)-carboxamide is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 3-Methyl-5-oxoisoxazole-2(5H)-carboxamide (CAS 77643-86-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H6N2O3, MW 142.11 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-Methyl-5-oxoisoxazole-2(5H)-carboxamide is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 142.11 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Methyl-5-oxoisoxazole-2(5H)-carboxamide 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.
