Chemical Structure

4-Hydroxy-3-mercaptobenzaldehyde CAS 166590-53-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 154.19 g/mol gives 4-Hydroxy-3-mercaptobenzaldehyde distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 4-Hydroxy-3-mercaptobenzaldehyde (CAS 166590-53-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H6O2S, MW 154.19 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, 4-Hydroxy-3-mercaptobenzaldehyde is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 154.19 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Hydroxy-3-mercaptobenzaldehyde 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.
