Chemical Structure

4-Bromo-2-thiophenecarboxylic Acid CAS 16694-18-1 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 4-Bromo-2-thiophenecarboxylic Acid.

CATO supplies 4-Bromo-2-thiophenecarboxylic Acid (CAS 16694-18-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C5H3BrO2S, MW 207.05 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 4-Bromo-2-thiophenecarboxylic Acid (C5H3BrO2S) is characterized by a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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.
