Chemical Structure

(R)-Methyl 3-mercapto-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetamido)propanoate CAS 1577-62-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (R)-Methyl 3-mercapto-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetamido)propanoate is closely related to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies (R)-Methyl 3-mercapto-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetamido)propanoate (CAS 1577-62-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H8F3NO3S, MW 231.19 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, (R)-Methyl 3-mercapto-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroacetamido)propanoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 231.19 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
