Chemical Structure

2-Amino-3-mercapto-3-methylbutanoic acid hydrochloride CAS 22572-05-0 chemical structure

Description

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

2-Amino-3-mercapto-3-methylbutanoic acid hydrochloride (CAS 22572-05-0), molecular formula C5H11NO2SHCl and molecular weight 185.67 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C5H11NO2SHCl, 2-Amino-3-mercapto-3-methylbutanoic acid hydrochloride contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 185.67 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
