Chemical Structure

5-Hydroxy-3-(4-pyridyl)isoxazole CAS 89819-63-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-Hydroxy-3-(4-pyridyl)isoxazole 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.

5-Hydroxy-3-(4-pyridyl)isoxazole (CAS 89819-63-6), molecular formula C8H6N2O2 and molecular weight 162.15 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, 5-Hydroxy-3-(4-pyridyl)isoxazole is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 162.15 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Hydroxy-3-(4-pyridyl)isoxazole meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
