Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)sulfanyl]acetate CAS 160901-56-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)sulfanyl]acetate 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.

CATO supplies Methyl 2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)sulfanyl]acetate (CAS 160901-56-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H10O3S, MW 198.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Methyl 2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)sulfanyl]acetate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 198.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures Methyl 2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)sulfanyl]acetate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
