Chemical Structure

5-Amino-3-methylisoxazole-4-carboxylic Acid CAS 84661-50-7 chemical structure

Description

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 5-Amino-3-methylisoxazole-4-carboxylic Acid 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. 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).

5-Amino-3-methylisoxazole-4-carboxylic Acid (CAS 84661-50-7), molecular formula C5H6N2O3 and molecular weight 142.11 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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-Amino-3-methylisoxazole-4-carboxylic Acid 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.
