Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 240.25 g/mol gives Ethyl 5-fluoro-3-hydroxybenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Ethyl 5-fluoro-3-hydroxybenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate (CAS 2089944-02-3), molecular formula C11H9FO3S and molecular weight 240.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Ethyl 5-fluoro-3-hydroxybenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate (C11H9FO3S) is characterized by a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 5-fluoro-3-hydroxybenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
