Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-Methyl-2-(3,7,11-trimethyldodecyl)thiophene.
3-Methyl-2-(3,7,11-trimethyldodecyl)thiophene (CAS 102037-88-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C20H36S and a molecular weight of 308.56 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C20H36S, 3-Methyl-2-(3,7,11-trimethyldodecyl)thiophene contains sulfur-containing functionality; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 308.56 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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-Methyl-2-(3,7,11-trimethyldodecyl)thiophene 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.
