Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-Mercapto-2-methylpropionate CAS 33441-50-8 chemical structure

Description

Ethyl 2-Mercapto-2-methylpropionate (C6H12O2S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

CATO supplies Ethyl 2-Mercapto-2-methylpropionate (CAS 33441-50-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H12O2S, MW 148.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.
