Chemical Structure

5-(Chlorosulfonyl)thiophene-2-carboxylic acid CAS 10216-12-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-(Chlorosulfonyl)thiophene-2-carboxylic acid is closely related to a carbohydrate-derived structure, a sulfone group, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

5-(Chlorosulfonyl)thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 10216-12-3), molecular formula C5H3ClO4S2 and molecular weight 226.66 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carbohydrate-derived structure, a sulfone group, chlorine substitution, 5-(Chlorosulfonyl)thiophene-2-carboxylic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 226.66 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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), 5-(Chlorosulfonyl)thiophene-2-carboxylic 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.
