Chemical Structure

2-methyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxylic acid CAS 84184-18-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-methyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxylic acid is closely related to an amide group, 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.

2-methyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxylic acid (CAS 84184-18-9), molecular formula C5H7NO2S and molecular weight 145.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-methyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxylic acid is typically white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 145.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures 2-methyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole-4-carboxylic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
