Chemical Structure

o-Tolyl methanesulfonate CAS 1009-01-4 chemical structure

Description

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.

o-Tolyl methanesulfonate (CAS 1009-01-4), molecular formula C8H10O3S and molecular weight 186.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, o-Tolyl methanesulfonate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 186.23 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).

CATO manufactures o-Tolyl methanesulfonate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
