Chemical Structure

2,4-Dibromo-3-methylthiophene CAS 53119-66-7 chemical structure

Description

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.

2,4-Dibromo-3-methylthiophene (CAS 53119-66-7), molecular formula C5H4Br2S and molecular weight 255.96 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, bromine substitution, 2,4-Dibromo-3-methylthiophene is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 255.96 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.
