5-Bromothiophen-2(3H)-one (CAS 43225-51-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C4H3BrOS and a molecular weight of 179.04 g/mol.
Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, 5-Bromothiophen-2(3H)-one is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 179.04 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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-Bromothiophen-2(3H)-one 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.
