2-Hexylthiophene CAS 18794-77-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-Hexylthiophene.

2-Hexylthiophene (CAS 18794-77-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H16S and a molecular weight of 168.30 g/mol.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, 2-Hexylthiophene is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 168.30 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

CATO manufactures 2-Hexylthiophene under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
