2-Mercapto-6-methylbenzoic acid CAS 17839-53-1

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 168.21 g/mol gives 2-Mercapto-6-methylbenzoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 2-Mercapto-6-methylbenzoic acid (CAS 17839-53-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H8O2S, MW 168.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 2-Mercapto-6-methylbenzoic acid (C8H8O2S) is characterized by a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 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. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

CATO manufactures 2-Mercapto-6-methylbenzoic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
