Chemical Structure

1-[5-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2-oxazol-3-yl]ethan-1-one CAS 92096-06-5 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 1-[5-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2-oxazol-3-yl]ethan-1-one.

CATO supplies 1-[5-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2-oxazol-3-yl]ethan-1-one (CAS 92096-06-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H7NO3, MW 141.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 1-[5-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2-oxazol-3-yl]ethan-1-one is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 141.12 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.
