Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzodithioate CAS 3152-70-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

Methyl 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzodithioate (CAS 3152-70-3), molecular formula C9H10O2S2 and molecular weight 214.30 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, Methyl 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzodithioate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 214.30 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
