The occurrence of 3-{[(2,5-dimethylphenyl)sulfanyl]methyl}benzoic acid is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
3-{[(2,5-dimethylphenyl)sulfanyl]methyl}benzoic acid (CAS 938308-74-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H16O2S and a molecular weight of 272.36 g/mol.
Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, 3-{[(2,5-dimethylphenyl)sulfanyl]methyl}benzoic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 272.36 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-{[(2,5-dimethylphenyl)sulfanyl]methyl}benzoic 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.
