Chemical Structure

Pyridin-4-ylmethanethiol hydrochloride CAS 70199-58-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Pyridin-4-ylmethanethiol hydrochloride is closely related to a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Pyridin-4-ylmethanethiol hydrochloride (CAS 70199-58-5), molecular formula C6H7NSHCl and molecular weight 161.65 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine substitution, Pyridin-4-ylmethanethiol hydrochloride is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 161.65 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

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.
