The occurrence of 4-hydroxy-2-methylbenzenesulfonic acid sodium salt is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
4-hydroxy-2-methylbenzenesulfonic acid sodium salt (CAS 132281-59-5), molecular formula C7H7NaO4S and molecular weight 210.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Structurally, 4-hydroxy-2-methylbenzenesulfonic acid sodium salt (C7H7NaO4S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.5, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 210.18 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
