Chemical Structure

2,6-Dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid CAS 25241-15-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 186.23 g/mol gives 2,6-Dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2,6-Dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid (CAS 25241-15-0), molecular formula C8H10O3S and molecular weight 186.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2,6-Dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 186.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures 2,6-Dimethylbenzenesulfonic acid 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.
