Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-formyl-4-methylthiophene-2-carboxylate CAS 391936-75-7 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 5-formyl-4-methylthiophene-2-carboxylate (CAS 391936-75-7), molecular formula C8H8O3S and molecular weight 184.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Methyl 5-formyl-4-methylthiophene-2-carboxylate (C8H8O3S) is characterized by a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

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.
