Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(methylthio)butanoate CAS 51534-66-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 2-(methylthio)butanoate.

CATO supplies Methyl 2-(methylthio)butanoate (CAS 51534-66-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H12O2S, MW 148.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Methyl 2-(methylthio)butanoate (C6H12O2S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 148.22 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range.

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

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.
