5-Ethylbenzo[b]thiophene CAS 17514-96-4 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

5-Ethylbenzo[b]thiophene (CAS 17514-96-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H10S and a molecular weight of 162.25 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 5-Ethylbenzo[b]thiophene (C10H10S) is characterized by sulfur-containing functionality, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
