Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(2-aminooxazol-5-yl)acetate CAS 878375-87-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 2-(2-aminooxazol-5-yl)acetate is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Methyl 2-(2-aminooxazol-5-yl)acetate (CAS 878375-87-2), molecular formula C6H8N2O3 and molecular weight 156.14 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, Methyl 2-(2-aminooxazol-5-yl)acetate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 156.14 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
