The occurrence of Benzo[d]isothiazole is closely related to a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Benzo[d]isothiazole (CAS 272-16-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H5NS and a molecular weight of 135.19 g/mol.
Owing to a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, an aromatic ring system, Benzo[d]isothiazole is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 135.19 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Benzo[d]isothiazole meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
