Chemical Structure

(2-Methyl-1-benzothiophen-3-yl)methanol CAS 55085-93-3 chemical structure

Description

(2-Methyl-1-benzothiophen-3-yl)methanol (CAS 55085-93-3), molecular formula C10H10OS and molecular weight 178.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

(2-Methyl-1-benzothiophen-3-yl)methanol (C10H10OS) contains sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

CATO manufactures (2-Methyl-1-benzothiophen-3-yl)methanol 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.
