4-(5-Formyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)benzonitrile CAS 944906-29-0 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 4-(5-Formyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)benzonitrile.

4-(5-Formyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)benzonitrile (CAS 944906-29-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H5N3O2 and a molecular weight of 199.17 g/mol.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 4-(5-Formyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)benzonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 199.17 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.

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.
