Chemical Structure

Ethyl 5-bromo-3-(bromomethyl)-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylate CAS 31310-31-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 378.08 g/mol gives Ethyl 5-bromo-3-(bromomethyl)-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Ethyl 5-bromo-3-(bromomethyl)-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylate (CAS 31310-31-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H10Br2O2S, MW 378.08 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Ethyl 5-bromo-3-(bromomethyl)-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 378.08 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).

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), Ethyl 5-bromo-3-(bromomethyl)-1-benzothiophene-2-carboxylate 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.
