Chemical Structure

L-Homocysteine thiolactone hydrochloride CAS 31828-68-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of L-Homocysteine thiolactone hydrochloride is closely related to an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

L-Homocysteine thiolactone hydrochloride (CAS 31828-68-9), molecular formula C4H7NOSHCl and molecular weight 153.62 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, L-Homocysteine thiolactone hydrochloride is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 153.62 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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), L-Homocysteine thiolactone hydrochloride 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.
