Methyl 3-(chlorosulfonyl)-4-phenyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)thiophene-2-carboxylate CAS 306935-98-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 3-(chlorosulfonyl)-4-phenyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)thiophene-2-carboxylate is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Methyl 3-(chlorosulfonyl)-4-phenyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)thiophene-2-carboxylate (CAS 306935-98-8), molecular formula C13H8ClF3O4S2 and molecular weight 384.78 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Methyl 3-(chlorosulfonyl)-4-phenyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)thiophene-2-carboxylate (C13H8ClF3O4S2) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 384.78 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.

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.
