4-Chloro-3-methylbenzenethiol (CAS 17178-00-6), molecular formula C7H7ClS and molecular weight 158.65 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 4-Chloro-3-methylbenzenethiol (C7H7ClS) is characterized by sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Chloro-3-methylbenzenethiol 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.
