5-Methoxy-4-nitrothiophene-2-carboxylic acid CAS 204326-35-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 203.17 g/mol gives 5-Methoxy-4-nitrothiophene-2-carboxylic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

5-Methoxy-4-nitrothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 204326-35-2), molecular formula C6H5NO5S and molecular weight 203.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

5-Methoxy-4-nitrothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (C6H5NO5S) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group, a sulfone group. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

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.
