Chemical Structure

2-Benzamido-4-(methylthio)butanoic acid CAS 4703-38-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Benzamido-4-(methylthio)butanoic acid is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Benzamido-4-(methylthio)butanoic acid (CAS 4703-38-2), molecular formula C12H15NO3S and molecular weight 253.32 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C12H15NO3S, 2-Benzamido-4-(methylthio)butanoic acid contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 253.32 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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 2-Benzamido-4-(methylthio)butanoic acid 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.
