Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-5-methylthiophene CAS 17249-82-0 chemical structure

Description

2-Chloro-5-methylthiophene (CAS 17249-82-0), molecular formula C5H5ClS and molecular weight 132.61 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine substitution, 2-Chloro-5-methylthiophene is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 132.61 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Chloro-5-methylthiophene 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.
