Chemical Structure

1-(3-ethyl-5-methyl-1,2-oxazol-4-yl)ethan-1-one CAS 79379-86-5 chemical structure

Description

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 1-(3-ethyl-5-methyl-1,2-oxazol-4-yl)ethan-1-one is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 153.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO supplies 1-(3-ethyl-5-methyl-1,2-oxazol-4-yl)ethan-1-one (CAS 79379-86-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H11NO2, MW 153.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.
