Chemical Structure

S-methyl 2-cyanoethanethioate CAS 111503-78-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 115.15 g/mol gives S-methyl 2-cyanoethanethioate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

S-methyl 2-cyanoethanethioate (CAS 111503-78-7), molecular formula C4H5NOS and molecular weight 115.15 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of S-methyl 2-cyanoethanethioate (C4H5NOS) is characterized by an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

CATO manufactures S-methyl 2-cyanoethanethioate 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.
