3-Hexylthiophene (CAS 1693-86-3), molecular formula C10H20S and molecular weight 172.33 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C10H20S, 3-Hexylthiophene contains sulfur-containing functionality; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 172.33 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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-Hexylthiophene 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.
