4-HYdroxy-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester CAS 5118-04-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 4-HYdroxy-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.

CATO supplies 4-HYdroxy-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (CAS 5118-04-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H6O3S, MW 158.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 4-HYdroxy-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 158.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
