Chemical Structure

2-methyl-5-methylsulfanylthiophene CAS 40990-29-2 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C6H8S2, 2-methyl-5-methylsulfanylthiophene contains sulfur-containing functionality; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 144.26 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).

CATO supplies 2-methyl-5-methylsulfanylthiophene (CAS 40990-29-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H8S2, MW 144.26 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
