Chemical Structure

4-(2-Oxo-1,3-oxazolidin-3-yl)butanoic acid CAS 933686-66-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(2-Oxo-1,3-oxazolidin-3-yl)butanoic acid 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.

4-(2-Oxo-1,3-oxazolidin-3-yl)butanoic acid (CAS 933686-66-9), molecular formula C7H11NO4 and molecular weight 173.17 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, 4-(2-Oxo-1,3-oxazolidin-3-yl)butanoic acid is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 173.17 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).
