Chemical Structure

4-(5-Oxazolyl)benzonitrile CAS 87150-13-8 chemical structure

Description

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.

4-(5-Oxazolyl)benzonitrile (CAS 87150-13-8), molecular formula C10H6N2O and molecular weight 170.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C10H6N2O, 4-(5-Oxazolyl)benzonitrile contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 170.17 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
