CATO supplies 2-Methoxy-2-thiomethylbenzophenone (CAS 746652-03-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H14O2S, MW 258.34 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of 2-Methoxy-2-thiomethylbenzophenone (C15H14O2S) is characterized by a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Methoxy-2-thiomethylbenzophenone meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
