Chemical Structure

4-hydroxy-2-methylbenzenesulfonic acid CAS 7134-05-6 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 4-hydroxy-2-methylbenzenesulfonic acid (CAS 7134-05-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H8O4S, MW 188.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

4-hydroxy-2-methylbenzenesulfonic acid (C7H8O4S) contains 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).

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 4-hydroxy-2-methylbenzenesulfonic acid 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.
