Chemical Structure

5-Fluoro-1-benzothiophene-3-carbaldehyde CAS 40740-56-5 chemical structure

Description

5-Fluoro-1-benzothiophene-3-carbaldehyde (CAS 40740-56-5), molecular formula C9H5FOS and molecular weight 180.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 5-Fluoro-1-benzothiophene-3-carbaldehyde (C9H5FOS) contains sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 180.20 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
