Chemical Structure

(2,6-Dimethylphenyl)methanesulfonic acid CAS 862896-87-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (2,6-Dimethylphenyl)methanesulfonic 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.

(2,6-Dimethylphenyl)methanesulfonic acid (CAS 862896-87-5), molecular formula C9H12O3S and molecular weight 200.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C9H12O3S, (2,6-Dimethylphenyl)methanesulfonic acid contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 200.25 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (2,6-Dimethylphenyl)methanesulfonic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
