3-(3-Mercapto-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)propanoic acid CAS 125907-88-2 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

3-(3-Mercapto-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)propanoic acid (CAS 125907-88-2), molecular formula C5H7N3O2S and molecular weight 173.19 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 3-(3-Mercapto-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)propanoic acid (C5H7N3O2S) is characterized by an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, 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).

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.
