Chemical Structure

3-(4-(Methylthio)phenyl)-2-oxopropanoic acid CAS 737823-69-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 210.25 g/mol gives 3-(4-(Methylthio)phenyl)-2-oxopropanoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

3-(4-(Methylthio)phenyl)-2-oxopropanoic acid (CAS 737823-69-7), molecular formula C10H10O3S and molecular weight 210.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3-(4-(Methylthio)phenyl)-2-oxopropanoic acid (C10H10O3S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
