Chemical Structure

4-Chloro-2-mercaptophenol CAS 21151-77-9 chemical structure

Description

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.

4-Chloro-2-mercaptophenol (CAS 21151-77-9), molecular formula C6H5ClOS and molecular weight 160.62 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 4-Chloro-2-mercaptophenol (C6H5ClOS) is characterized by sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 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. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
