Chemical Structure

3-Methyl-2-(4-thiomethylphenyl)propiophenone CAS 898780-77-3 chemical structure

Description

3-Methyl-2-(4-thiomethylphenyl)propiophenone (CAS 898780-77-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H18OS and a molecular weight of 270.39 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-Methyl-2-(4-thiomethylphenyl)propiophenone is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 270.39 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

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.
