Chemical Structure

3-Methyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazole-5-carbonitrile CAS 86260-83-5 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 3-Methyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazole-5-carbonitrile (CAS 86260-83-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H6N2O, MW 110.11 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 3-Methyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazole-5-carbonitrile (C5H6N2O) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 110.11 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. 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.

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.
