Chemical Structure

2-Methylbenzo[b]selenophene CAS 20984-22-9 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-Methylbenzo[b]selenophene.

2-Methylbenzo[b]selenophene (CAS 20984-22-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H8Se and a molecular weight of 195.12 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-Methylbenzo[b]selenophene (C9H8Se) is characterized by an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its non-polar molecular character, 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.
