Thioctic acid Impurity 39 CAS 5238-48-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Thioctic acid Impurity 39 (CAS 5238-48-2), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C8H15ClO2S, MW 210.72 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Thioctic acid Impurity 39 (C8H15ClO2S) is characterized by a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

CATO manufactures Thioctic acid Impurity 39 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.
