The occurrence of Ethyl 2-(benzylthio)propanoate is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Ethyl 2-(benzylthio)propanoate (CAS 52414-72-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H16O2S, MW 224.32 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Ethyl 2-(benzylthio)propanoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 224.32 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.
CATO manufactures Ethyl 2-(benzylthio)propanoate 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.
