Chemical Structure

(S)-2-Hexanamido-4-(methylthio)butanoic acid CAS 68862-41-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies (S)-2-Hexanamido-4-(methylthio)butanoic acid (CAS 68862-41-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H21NO3S, MW 247.35 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

(S)-2-Hexanamido-4-(methylthio)butanoic acid (C11H21NO3S) contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
