Chemical Structure

2-Methyl-2-[4-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl]propanoic acid CAS 80854-31-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Methyl-2-[4-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl]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.

2-Methyl-2-[4-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl]propanoic acid (CAS 80854-31-5) 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, 2-Methyl-2-[4-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl]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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
