Chemical Structure

3-Mercaptopropionic Acid CAS 107-96-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-Mercaptopropionic Acid is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-Mercaptopropionic Acid (CAS 107-96-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C3H6O2S and a molecular weight of 106.14 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 3-Mercaptopropionic Acid (C3H6O2S) is characterized by a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Mercaptopropionic Acid 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.
