Chemical Structure

2-(3-Methoxyphenyl)ethane-1-thiol CAS 51526-56-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(3-Methoxyphenyl)ethane-1-thiol is closely related to 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.

2-(3-Methoxyphenyl)ethane-1-thiol (CAS 51526-56-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H12OS and a molecular weight of 168.26 g/mol.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-(3-Methoxyphenyl)ethane-1-thiol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 168.26 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
