(Z)-2-Methyl-4-(1-phenylethylidene)oxazol-5(4H)-one CAS 87378-63-0

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (Z)-2-Methyl-4-(1-phenylethylidene)oxazol-5(4H)-one.

(Z)-2-Methyl-4-(1-phenylethylidene)oxazol-5(4H)-one (CAS 87378-63-0), molecular formula C12H11NO2 and molecular weight 201.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (Z)-2-Methyl-4-(1-phenylethylidene)oxazol-5(4H)-one is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 201.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
