Chemical Structure

(Methylthio)methyl butyrate CAS 74758-93-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (Methylthio)methyl butyrate is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(Methylthio)methyl butyrate (CAS 74758-93-3), molecular formula C6H12O2S and molecular weight 148.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, (Methylthio)methyl butyrate (C6H12O2S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 148.22 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range.

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.

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.
