Chemical Structure

Benzo[b]thiophene-2-methanol CAS 17890-56-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 164.22 g/mol gives Benzo[b]thiophene-2-methanol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Benzo[b]thiophene-2-methanol (CAS 17890-56-1), molecular formula C9H8OS and molecular weight 164.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Benzo[b]thiophene-2-methanol (C9H8OS) is characterized by sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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), Benzo[b]thiophene-2-methanol 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.
