Chemical Structure

4-(Benzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)-N,N-dimethylaniline CAS 840-57-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(Benzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)-N,N-dimethylaniline is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-(Benzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)-N,N-dimethylaniline (CAS 840-57-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H14N2O and a molecular weight of 238.28 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 4-(Benzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)-N,N-dimethylaniline is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 238.28 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-(Benzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)-N,N-dimethylaniline 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.
