Chemical Structure

5-Methyl-2-(methylthio)-6-thioxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid CAS 6939-29-3 chemical structure

Description

5-Methyl-2-(methylthio)-6-thioxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid (C7H8N2O2S2) contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

5-Methyl-2-(methylthio)-6-thioxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid (CAS 6939-29-3), molecular formula C7H8N2O2S2 and molecular weight 216.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
