Chemical Structure

Bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfane CAS 16679-04-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfane is closely related to sulfur-containing functionality in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfane (CAS 16679-04-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H34S and a molecular weight of 258.51 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfane (C16H34S) is characterized by sulfur-containing functionality. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), Bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfane 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.
