Chemical Structure

2-(Benzylthio)-2-methylpropanoic acid CAS 36038-77-4 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 2-(Benzylthio)-2-methylpropanoic acid (C11H14O2S) is characterized by a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), 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).

2-(Benzylthio)-2-methylpropanoic acid (CAS 36038-77-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H14O2S and a molecular weight of 210.29 g/mol.

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.
