Chemical Structure

3-Chloro-6-methylbenzothiophene-2-carboxylic Acid CAS 34576-96-0 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 3-Chloro-6-methylbenzothiophene-2-carboxylic Acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 226.68 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

3-Chloro-6-methylbenzothiophene-2-carboxylic Acid (CAS 34576-96-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H7ClO2S and a molecular weight of 226.68 g/mol.

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.
