Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-hydroxythiophene-2-carboxylate CAS 107433-27-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 5-hydroxythiophene-2-carboxylate is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Methyl 5-hydroxythiophene-2-carboxylate (CAS 107433-27-2), molecular formula C6H6O3S and molecular weight 158.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Methyl 5-hydroxythiophene-2-carboxylate (C6H6O3S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 158.18 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 5-hydroxythiophene-2-carboxylate 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.
