Chemical Structure

Pyrazine-2-sulfonic acid CAS 139263-49-3 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C4H4N2O3S, Pyrazine-2-sulfonic acid contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 160.15 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

CATO supplies Pyrazine-2-sulfonic acid (CAS 139263-49-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H4N2O3S, MW 160.15 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.
