Chemical Structure

(4-Fluoro-5-methylthiophen-2-yl)(m-tolyl)methanol CAS 1342516-40-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (4-Fluoro-5-methylthiophen-2-yl)(m-tolyl)methanol is closely related to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(4-Fluoro-5-methylthiophen-2-yl)(m-tolyl)methanol (CAS 1342516-40-8), molecular formula C13H13FOS and molecular weight 236.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, (4-Fluoro-5-methylthiophen-2-yl)(m-tolyl)methanol is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 236.31 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).

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.

CATO manufactures (4-Fluoro-5-methylthiophen-2-yl)(m-tolyl)methanol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
