The occurrence of 5-Amino-2-chlorotoluene-4-sulfonic Acid is closely related to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
5-Amino-2-chlorotoluene-4-sulfonic Acid (CAS 88-53-9), molecular formula C7H8ClNO3S and molecular weight 221.66 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, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 5-Amino-2-chlorotoluene-4-sulfonic Acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 221.66 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
