Chemical Structure

2-(Ethylthio)-2-methylpropanoic acid CAS 33441-53-1 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-(Ethylthio)-2-methylpropanoic acid.

2-(Ethylthio)-2-methylpropanoic acid (CAS 33441-53-1), molecular formula C6H12O2S and molecular weight 148.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-(Ethylthio)-2-methylpropanoic acid (C6H12O2S) is characterized by a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development.

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.
