Chemical Structure

Methyl 4-methyl-5-[4-(propan-2-yl)phenyl]thiophene-2-carboxylate CAS 1855889-97-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 4-methyl-5-[4-(propan-2-yl)phenyl]thiophene-2-carboxylate is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Methyl 4-methyl-5-[4-(propan-2-yl)phenyl]thiophene-2-carboxylate (CAS 1855889-97-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H18O2S, MW 274.38 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Methyl 4-methyl-5-[4-(propan-2-yl)phenyl]thiophene-2-carboxylate (C16H18O2S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 274.38 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).

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

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.
