Chemical Structure

3-Dodecylthiophene CAS 104934-52-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-Dodecylthiophene is closely related to sulfur-containing functionality in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-Dodecylthiophene (CAS 104934-52-3), molecular formula C16H32S and molecular weight 256.49 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, 3-Dodecylthiophene is typically white to off-white low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 256.49 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
