Chemical Structure

4-(Methylthio)benzenesulfonic acid CAS 70140-60-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-(Methylthio)benzenesulfonic acid is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 4-(Methylthio)benzenesulfonic acid (CAS 70140-60-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H8O3S2, MW 204.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 4-(Methylthio)benzenesulfonic acid (C7H8O3S2) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 204.27 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-(Methylthio)benzenesulfonic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
