The occurrence of 8-((2-Hydroxyethyl)thio)-3-methyl-7-(3-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.
CATO supplies 8-((2-Hydroxyethyl)thio)-3-methyl-7-(3-methylbenzyl)-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione (CAS 303973-41-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H18N4O3S, MW 346.40 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, 8-((2-Hydroxyethyl)thio)-3-methyl-7-(3-methylbenzyl)-3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione (C16H18N4O3S) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 346.40 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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).
