Chemical Structure

Methyl 4-(4-(methylthio)phenyl)-4-oxobutanoate CAS 108960-07-2 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 Methyl 4-(4-(methylthio)phenyl)-4-oxobutanoate.

CATO supplies Methyl 4-(4-(methylthio)phenyl)-4-oxobutanoate (CAS 108960-07-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H14O3S, MW 238.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Methyl 4-(4-(methylthio)phenyl)-4-oxobutanoate (C12H14O3S) is characterized by a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

CATO manufactures Methyl 4-(4-(methylthio)phenyl)-4-oxobutanoate 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.
