The occurrence of (5-Bromo-2-methoxyphenyl)methanethiol is closely related to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
(5-Bromo-2-methoxyphenyl)methanethiol (CAS 63550-24-3), molecular formula C8H9BrOS and molecular weight 233.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of (5-Bromo-2-methoxyphenyl)methanethiol (C8H9BrOS) is characterized by sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
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.
