4,4-Bis(2-ethylhexyl)-4H-cyclopenta[1,2-b:5,4-b']dithiophene (CAS 365547-20-2), molecular formula C25H38S2 and molecular weight 402.70 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 4,4-Bis(2-ethylhexyl)-4H-cyclopenta[1,2-b:5,4-b']dithiophene (C25H38S2) is characterized by sulfur-containing functionality, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
