Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-bromo-2-(thiophen-2-yl)acetate CAS 104688-01-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Ethyl 2-bromo-2-(thiophen-2-yl)acetate (CAS 104688-01-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H9BrO2S, MW 249.12 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C8H9BrO2S, Ethyl 2-bromo-2-(thiophen-2-yl)acetate contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 249.12 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
