Chemical Structure

Methyl 6-Hydroxybenzo[b]thiophene-3-carboxylate CAS 1093631-84-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 208.23 g/mol gives Methyl 6-Hydroxybenzo[b]thiophene-3-carboxylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Methyl 6-Hydroxybenzo[b]thiophene-3-carboxylate (CAS 1093631-84-5), molecular formula C10H8O3S and molecular weight 208.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Methyl 6-Hydroxybenzo[b]thiophene-3-carboxylate (C10H8O3S) 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 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 208.23 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

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.
