Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-{[amino(imino)methyl]thio}-3-oxobutanoate hydrochloride CAS 1212061-58-9 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 2-{[amino(imino)methyl]thio}-3-oxobutanoate hydrochloride.

Methyl 2-{[amino(imino)methyl]thio}-3-oxobutanoate hydrochloride (CAS 1212061-58-9), molecular formula C6H10N2O3SHCl and molecular weight 226.68 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Methyl 2-{[amino(imino)methyl]thio}-3-oxobutanoate hydrochloride is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 226.68 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

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.
