Chemical Structure

2-Methyl-5-oxododecan-2-yl oxazole-4-carboxylate CAS 86838-83-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 309.40 g/mol gives 2-Methyl-5-oxododecan-2-yl oxazole-4-carboxylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-Methyl-5-oxododecan-2-yl oxazole-4-carboxylate (CAS 86838-83-7), molecular formula C17H27NO4 and molecular weight 309.40 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-Methyl-5-oxododecan-2-yl oxazole-4-carboxylate (C17H27NO4) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
