Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-(ethylthio)-3-hydroxythiophene-2-carboxylate CAS 1707581-56-3 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, Methyl 5-(ethylthio)-3-hydroxythiophene-2-carboxylate (C8H10O3S2) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 218.29 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).

Methyl 5-(ethylthio)-3-hydroxythiophene-2-carboxylate (CAS 1707581-56-3), molecular formula C8H10O3S2 and molecular weight 218.29 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
