Chemical Structure

2-pyridylmethanethiol CAS 2044-73-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-pyridylmethanethiol is closely related to sulfur-containing functionality in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-pyridylmethanethiol (CAS 2044-73-7), molecular formula C6H13NS and molecular weight 131.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-pyridylmethanethiol (C6H13NS) is characterized by sulfur-containing functionality. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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-pyridylmethanethiol 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.
