Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 252.33 g/mol gives Benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl(o-tolyl)methanone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl(o-tolyl)methanone (CAS 22720-67-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H12OS, MW 252.33 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, Benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl(o-tolyl)methanone is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 252.33 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl(o-tolyl)methanone 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.
