Chemical Structure

2-Methylbenzeneselenol CAS 37773-21-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Methylbenzeneselenol is closely related to an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-Methylbenzeneselenol (CAS 37773-21-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C7H8Se, MW 171.10 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an aromatic ring system, 2-Methylbenzeneselenol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 171.10 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Methylbenzeneselenol 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.
