Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 180.23 g/mol gives 6-((Methylthio)methyl)-9H-purine distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
6-((Methylthio)methyl)-9H-purine (CAS 3389-35-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H8N4S and a molecular weight of 180.23 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 6-((Methylthio)methyl)-9H-purine (C7H8N4S) is characterized by a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
