Chemical Structure

2-((Methylthio)methyl)pyrazine CAS 59021-03-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-((Methylthio)methyl)pyrazine is closely related to a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-((Methylthio)methyl)pyrazine (CAS 59021-03-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H8N2S, MW 140.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, an aromatic ring system, 2-((Methylthio)methyl)pyrazine is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 140.21 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-((Methylthio)methyl)pyrazine meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
