Chemical Structure

2-(5-Bromothiophen-2-yl)-2-oxoacetaldehyde CAS 21175-51-9 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(5-Bromothiophen-2-yl)-2-oxoacetaldehyde 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.

2-(5-Bromothiophen-2-yl)-2-oxoacetaldehyde (CAS 21175-51-9), molecular formula C6H3BrO2SH2O and molecular weight 237.07 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-(5-Bromothiophen-2-yl)-2-oxoacetaldehyde (C6H3BrO2SH2O) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
