Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 179.04 g/mol gives 5-Bromothiophen-2(5H)-one distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies 5-Bromothiophen-2(5H)-one (CAS 17019-33-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C4H3BrOS, MW 179.04 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, 5-Bromothiophen-2(5H)-one is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 179.04 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
