Chemical Structure

Sodium (2,6-dimethylphenyl)methanesulfonate CAS 862896-86-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Sodium (2,6-dimethylphenyl)methanesulfonate (CAS 862896-86-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H11O3SNa, MW 222.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Sodium (2,6-dimethylphenyl)methanesulfonate (C9H11O3SNa) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.5, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 222.23 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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.
