3-(methylsulfanyl)butan-2-ol CAS 161528-03-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-(methylsulfanyl)butan-2-ol.

CATO supplies 3-(methylsulfanyl)butan-2-ol (CAS 161528-03-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H12OS, MW 120.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C5H12OS, 3-(methylsulfanyl)butan-2-ol contains sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 120.21 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-(methylsulfanyl)butan-2-ol meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
