Chemical Structure

2-{[(4-tert-butylphenyl)methyl]sulfanyl}acetic acid CAS 17874-35-0 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-{[(4-tert-butylphenyl)methyl]sulfanyl}acetic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 238.35 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.
