The occurrence of 5-Thioxopyrrolidin-2-one is closely related to an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
5-Thioxopyrrolidin-2-one (CAS 4166-00-1), molecular formula C4H5NOS and molecular weight 115.15 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, 5-Thioxopyrrolidin-2-one is typically white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 115.15 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
