Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 212.27 g/mol gives 2-Ethoxy-5-(methylthio)benzoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 2-Ethoxy-5-(methylthio)benzoic acid (CAS 1708178-87-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H12O3S, MW 212.27 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, 2-Ethoxy-5-(methylthio)benzoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 212.27 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
