Chemical Structure

(2E,5E)-2,5-Bis(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)cyclopentan-1-one CAS 176957-55-4 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies (2E,5E)-2,5-Bis(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)cyclopentan-1-one (CAS 176957-55-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H12OS2, MW 272.39 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, (2E,5E)-2,5-Bis(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)cyclopentan-1-one is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 272.39 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.
