3,4-Dioctylthiophene (CAS 161746-06-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C20H36S and a molecular weight of 308.56 g/mol.
The molecular framework of 3,4-Dioctylthiophene (C20H36S) is characterized by sulfur-containing functionality. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
CATO manufactures 3,4-Dioctylthiophene 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.
