The occurrence of 1-(2-Methylthiazol-5-yl)ethanone is closely related to an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies 1-(2-Methylthiazol-5-yl)ethanone (CAS 43040-02-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H7NOS, MW 141.19 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 1-(2-Methylthiazol-5-yl)ethanone is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 141.19 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.
CATO manufactures 1-(2-Methylthiazol-5-yl)ethanone under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
