Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-Chloro-1-(5-chlorothiophen-2-yl)ethan-1-one.
2-Chloro-1-(5-chlorothiophen-2-yl)ethan-1-one (CAS 42445-55-6), molecular formula C6H4Cl2OS and molecular weight 195.07 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-Chloro-1-(5-chlorothiophen-2-yl)ethan-1-one is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 195.07 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
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.
