The occurrence of Methyl 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, 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.
Methyl 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate (CAS 146137-87-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H7F3O2S and a molecular weight of 260.23 g/mol.
Methyl 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate (C11H7F3O2S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
