Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 3-hydroxy-5-(phenylthio)thiophene-2-carboxylate.
Methyl 3-hydroxy-5-(phenylthio)thiophene-2-carboxylate (CAS 104386-71-2), molecular formula C12H10O3S2 and molecular weight 266.34 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Methyl 3-hydroxy-5-(phenylthio)thiophene-2-carboxylate (C12H10O3S2) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
