Chemical Structure

2-(Chloromethyl)-6-cyanobenzo[d]oxazole CAS 944903-35-9 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(Chloromethyl)-6-cyanobenzo[d]oxazole 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.

2-(Chloromethyl)-6-cyanobenzo[d]oxazole (CAS 944903-35-9), molecular formula C9H5ClN2O and molecular weight 192.60 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C9H5ClN2O, 2-(Chloromethyl)-6-cyanobenzo[d]oxazole contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 192.60 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
