Chemical Structure

Ethyl 3-Mercaptopropanoate CAS 5466-06-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 134.20 g/mol gives Ethyl 3-Mercaptopropanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Ethyl 3-Mercaptopropanoate (CAS 5466-06-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H10O2S and a molecular weight of 134.20 g/mol.

Ethyl 3-Mercaptopropanoate (C5H10O2S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions.

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.
