Chemical Structure

Thiophen-2(3H)-one CAS 20893-64-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Thiophen-2(3H)-one is closely related to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Thiophen-2(3H)-one (CAS 20893-64-5), molecular formula C4H4OS and molecular weight 100.14 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Thiophen-2(3H)-one (C4H4OS) is characterized by sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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).

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.
