Chemical Structure

Methyl 4-Hydroxy-1-benzothiophene-6-carboxylate CAS 314725-14-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Methyl 4-Hydroxy-1-benzothiophene-6-carboxylate (CAS 314725-14-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H8O3S, MW 208.23 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Methyl 4-Hydroxy-1-benzothiophene-6-carboxylate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 208.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

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.
