Chemical Structure

6-Hydroxy-2-mercaptobenzothiazole CAS 74537-63-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 6-Hydroxy-2-mercaptobenzothiazole is closely related to an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

6-Hydroxy-2-mercaptobenzothiazole (CAS 74537-63-6), molecular formula C7H5NOS2 and molecular weight 183.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C7H5NOS2, 6-Hydroxy-2-mercaptobenzothiazole contains an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 183.25 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
