Chemical Structure

2-Mercapto-3-methyl-1-butanol CAS 116229-37-9 chemical structure

Description

2-Mercapto-3-methyl-1-butanol (CAS 116229-37-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H12OS and a molecular weight of 120.21 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-Mercapto-3-methyl-1-butanol (C5H12OS) is characterized by sulfur-containing functionality, 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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
