The occurrence of 2-(2-Bromophenyl)-4-(4-methoxybenzylidene)oxazol-5(4H)-one is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
2-(2-Bromophenyl)-4-(4-methoxybenzylidene)oxazol-5(4H)-one (CAS 84156-18-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H12BrNO3 and a molecular weight of 358.19 g/mol.
Structurally, 2-(2-Bromophenyl)-4-(4-methoxybenzylidene)oxazol-5(4H)-one (C17H12BrNO3) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 358.19 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
