Chemical Structure

(5-Methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)methyl 1H-imidazole-1-carboxylate CAS 784148-73-8 chemical structure

Description

(5-Methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)methyl 1H-imidazole-1-carboxylate (CAS 784148-73-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H8N4O3 and a molecular weight of 208.17 g/mol.

The molecular framework of (5-Methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)methyl 1H-imidazole-1-carboxylate (C8H8N4O3) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (5-Methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)methyl 1H-imidazole-1-carboxylate 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.
