Chemical Structure

5-Amino-2-mercaptobenzoic acid CAS 81367-73-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

5-Amino-2-mercaptobenzoic acid (CAS 81367-73-9), molecular formula C7H7NO2S and molecular weight 169.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 5-Amino-2-mercaptobenzoic acid (C7H7NO2S) is characterized by an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
