8-((2-Hydroxyethyl)thio)-3-methyl-7-(4-methylbenzyl)-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione CAS 303970-01-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 8-((2-Hydroxyethyl)thio)-3-methyl-7-(4-methylbenzyl)-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

8-((2-Hydroxyethyl)thio)-3-methyl-7-(4-methylbenzyl)-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione (CAS 303970-01-6), molecular formula C16H18N4O3S and molecular weight 346.40 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 8-((2-Hydroxyethyl)thio)-3-methyl-7-(4-methylbenzyl)-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 346.40 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).

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.

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.
