Chemical Structure

5-Bromobenzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-one CAS 163449-72-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-Bromobenzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-one is closely related to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

5-Bromobenzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-one (CAS 163449-72-7), molecular formula C8H5BrOS and molecular weight 229.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 5-Bromobenzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-one (C8H5BrOS) contains sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine 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 229.09 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
