Chemical Structure

5,5'-Dimethyl-3,3'-bithiophene CAS 38418-27-8 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 5,5'-Dimethyl-3,3'-bithiophene (C10H10S2) contains sulfur-containing functionality, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 194.32 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO supplies 5,5'-Dimethyl-3,3'-bithiophene (CAS 38418-27-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H10S2, MW 194.32 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.
