Chemical Structure

7-(5-Methylthiophen-2-yl)-4,7-dioxoheptanoic acid CAS 1050884-12-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 7-(5-Methylthiophen-2-yl)-4,7-dioxoheptanoic acid.

CATO supplies 7-(5-Methylthiophen-2-yl)-4,7-dioxoheptanoic acid (CAS 1050884-12-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H14O4S, MW 254.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 7-(5-Methylthiophen-2-yl)-4,7-dioxoheptanoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 254.30 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
