Chemical Structure

6-(Trifluoromethyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carbonitrile CAS 2121264-35-3 chemical structure

Description

6-(Trifluoromethyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carbonitrile (CAS 2121264-35-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H4F3NS and a molecular weight of 227.21 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, fluorine substitution, 6-(Trifluoromethyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carbonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 227.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
