Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 168.21 g/mol gives 2-Cyclopropylthiophene-3-carboxylic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
2-Cyclopropylthiophene-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 2104675-28-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H8O2S and a molecular weight of 168.21 g/mol.
Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-Cyclopropylthiophene-3-carboxylic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 168.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
