4-Methoxy-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine, 97% (CAS 55749-33-2), molecular formula C7H10N2OS and molecular weight 170.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 4-Methoxy-6-methyl-2-(methylthio)pyrimidine, 97% is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 170.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
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.
