Chemical Structure

5-(5-Methylthiophen-2-yl)-5-oxopentanoic acid CAS 41042-93-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-(5-Methylthiophen-2-yl)-5-oxopentanoic acid is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

5-(5-Methylthiophen-2-yl)-5-oxopentanoic acid (CAS 41042-93-7), molecular formula C10H12O3S and molecular weight 212.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

5-(5-Methylthiophen-2-yl)-5-oxopentanoic acid (C10H12O3S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-(5-Methylthiophen-2-yl)-5-oxopentanoic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
