Chemical Structure

S-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-L-cysteine CAS 6367-98-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of S-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-L-cysteine is closely related to an amide group, 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.

CATO supplies S-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-L-cysteine (CAS 6367-98-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H11NO3S, MW 165.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of S-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-L-cysteine (C5H11NO3S) is characterized by an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
