Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of 3-[(4-Methylphenyl)methylsulfanyl]propanoic acid is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
3-[(4-Methylphenyl)methylsulfanyl]propanoic acid (CAS 78981-22-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H14O2S and a molecular weight of 210.29 g/mol.
Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 3-[(4-Methylphenyl)methylsulfanyl]propanoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 210.29 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
