Chemical Structure

1-Benzothiophene-2,3-Dione CAS 493-57-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 1-Benzothiophene-2,3-Dione.

1-Benzothiophene-2,3-Dione (CAS 493-57-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H4O2S and a molecular weight of 164.18 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C8H4O2S, 1-Benzothiophene-2,3-Dione contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 164.18 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
