Chemical Structure

Benzyl Mercaptan CAS 100-53-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Benzyl Mercaptan is closely related to sulfur-containing functionality, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Benzyl Mercaptan (CAS 100-53-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H8S, MW 124.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, an aromatic ring system, Benzyl Mercaptan is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 124.20 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
