4-((2-(Methylsulfonyl)ethyl)thio)phenol (CAS 1178331-89-9), molecular formula C9H12O3S2 and molecular weight 232.32 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 4-((2-(Methylsulfonyl)ethyl)thio)phenol (C9H12O3S2) 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 the polarity and ionization state of its functional 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).
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.
