Chemical Structure

7-(Chloromethyl)-2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene CAS 1234845-02-3 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 7-(Chloromethyl)-2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene (C10H9ClS) contains sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 196.70 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.

7-(Chloromethyl)-2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene (CAS 1234845-02-3), molecular formula C10H9ClS and molecular weight 196.70 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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), 7-(Chloromethyl)-2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene 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.
