Chemical Structure

5-Chloro-2-sulfanylbenzoic acid CAS 20324-50-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-Chloro-2-sulfanylbenzoic acid is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 5-Chloro-2-sulfanylbenzoic acid (CAS 20324-50-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H5ClO2S, MW 188.63 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

5-Chloro-2-sulfanylbenzoic acid (C7H5ClO2S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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), 5-Chloro-2-sulfanylbenzoic acid 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.
