Chemical Structure

(6-Chlorobenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)methanol CAS 234107-53-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (6-Chlorobenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)methanol is closely related to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(6-Chlorobenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)methanol (CAS 234107-53-0), molecular formula C9H7ClOS and molecular weight 198.67 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, (6-Chlorobenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)methanol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 198.67 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (6-Chlorobenzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)methanol 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.
