Chemical Structure

4-[(4-Methylbenzyl)(methylsulfonyl)amino]benzoic acid CAS 446259-00-3 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 4-[(4-Methylbenzyl)(methylsulfonyl)amino]benzoic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 319.38 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).

4-[(4-Methylbenzyl)(methylsulfonyl)amino]benzoic acid (CAS 446259-00-3), molecular formula C16H17NO4S and molecular weight 319.38 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
