Chemical Structure

4-Mercaptobenzoic Acid CAS 1074-36-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 154.19 g/mol gives 4-Mercaptobenzoic Acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

4-Mercaptobenzoic Acid (CAS 1074-36-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H6O2S and a molecular weight of 154.19 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C7H6O2S, 4-Mercaptobenzoic Acid contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 154.19 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).

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.
