Chemical Structure

2-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)benzo[d]oxazole-4-carboxylic acid CAS 906095-21-4 chemical structure

Description

2-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)benzo[d]oxazole-4-carboxylic acid (CAS 906095-21-4), molecular formula C14H9NO4 and molecular weight 255.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)benzo[d]oxazole-4-carboxylic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 255.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)benzo[d]oxazole-4-carboxylic acid 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.
