Chemical Structure

3,3'-Dimethoxy-2,2'-bithiophene CAS 118583-86-1 chemical structure

Description

3,3'-Dimethoxy-2,2'-bithiophene (CAS 118583-86-1), molecular formula C10H10O2S2 and molecular weight 226.32 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

3,3'-Dimethoxy-2,2'-bithiophene (C10H10O2S2) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
