Chemical Structure

3-Methyl-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-one CAS 694-68-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-Methyl-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-one.

3-Methyl-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-one (CAS 694-68-8), molecular formula C4H6N2OS and molecular weight 130.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-Methyl-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-one is typically white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 130.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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 3-Methyl-2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-one 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.
