Chemical Structure

2-(bromomethyl)-5-nitrothiophene CAS 166887-84-9 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO supplies 2-(bromomethyl)-5-nitrothiophene (CAS 166887-84-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H4BrNO2S, MW 222.06 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2-(bromomethyl)-5-nitrothiophene (C5H4BrNO2S) contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(bromomethyl)-5-nitrothiophene 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.
