Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of Ethyl 2-[Bis(methylthio)methylene]-3-oxobutanoate is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Ethyl 2-[Bis(methylthio)methylene]-3-oxobutanoate (CAS 54893-95-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H14O3S2 and a molecular weight of 234.34 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C9H14O3S2, Ethyl 2-[Bis(methylthio)methylene]-3-oxobutanoate contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 234.34 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
