Chemical Structure

Benzo[b]thiophen-5-ylmethanol CAS 20532-34-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Benzo[b]thiophen-5-ylmethanol is closely related to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Benzo[b]thiophen-5-ylmethanol (CAS 20532-34-7), 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]thiophen-5-ylmethanol (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.

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.
