Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-(3-methylthiophen-2-yl)-2-oxoacetate CAS 32977-83-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 2-(3-methylthiophen-2-yl)-2-oxoacetate is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Ethyl 2-(3-methylthiophen-2-yl)-2-oxoacetate (CAS 32977-83-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C9H10O3S, MW 198.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Ethyl 2-(3-methylthiophen-2-yl)-2-oxoacetate (C9H10O3S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 198.24 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

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.
