Chemical Structure

5-Chloro-2-Methyl-4-Isothiazolin-3-One CAS 26172-55-4 chemical structure

Description

Owing to an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 5-Chloro-2-Methyl-4-Isothiazolin-3-One is typically white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 149.60 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).

CATO supplies 5-Chloro-2-Methyl-4-Isothiazolin-3-One (CAS 26172-55-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H4ClNOS, MW 149.60 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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

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.
