Chemical Structure

5-Methoxy-2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene CAS 53299-66-4 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO supplies 5-Methoxy-2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene (CAS 53299-66-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H10OS, MW 178.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C10H10OS, 5-Methoxy-2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene contains sulfur-containing functionality, 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 178.25 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Methoxy-2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene 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.
