3-(Methylthio)butyraldehyde CAS 16630-52-7 chemical structure

Description

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.

3-(Methylthio)butyraldehyde (CAS 16630-52-7), molecular formula C5H10OS and molecular weight 118.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C5H10OS, 3-(Methylthio)butyraldehyde 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 118.20 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.
