Chemical Structure

4-Methyl-3-(methylsulfonyl)benzoic acid CAS 51522-22-6 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

4-Methyl-3-(methylsulfonyl)benzoic acid (CAS 51522-22-6), molecular formula C9H10O4S and molecular weight 214.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C9H10O4S, 4-Methyl-3-(methylsulfonyl)benzoic acid contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 214.24 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).

CATO manufactures 4-Methyl-3-(methylsulfonyl)benzoic 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.
