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.
3-(4-Methylphenyl)-2-thiomethylpropiophenone (CAS 898768-65-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H16OS and a molecular weight of 268.37 g/mol.
Owing to a steroid core, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-(4-Methylphenyl)-2-thiomethylpropiophenone is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 268.37 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
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.
