Chemical Structure

2-((5-Mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)propanoic acid CAS 60725-23-7 chemical structure

Description

2-((5-Mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)propanoic acid (CAS 60725-23-7), molecular formula C5H6N2O2S3 and molecular weight 222.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-((5-Mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)propanoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 222.31 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.

CATO manufactures 2-((5-Mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)propanoic acid 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.
