The occurrence of Methanesulfonic Anhydride is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Methanesulfonic Anhydride (CAS 7143-01-3), molecular formula C2H6O5S2 and molecular weight 174.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, an ether linkage, Methanesulfonic Anhydride is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 174.20 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.
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 Methanesulfonic Anhydride 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.
