Chemical Structure

2-(Dichloromethyl)oxazole CAS 885274-38-4 chemical structure

Description

2-(Dichloromethyl)oxazole (CAS 885274-38-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H3Cl2NO and a molecular weight of 151.98 g/mol.

Structurally, 2-(Dichloromethyl)oxazole (C4H3Cl2NO) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 151.98 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

CATO manufactures 2-(Dichloromethyl)oxazole under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
