Chemical Structure

5-Bromobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carbonitrile CAS 38251-66-0 chemical structure

Description

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

5-Bromobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carbonitrile (CAS 38251-66-0), molecular formula C9H4BrNS and molecular weight 238.10 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 5-Bromobenzo[b]thiophene-2-carbonitrile (C9H4BrNS) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, 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).

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.
