2-Acetyl-3-hydroxythiophene CAS 5556-07-0 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 2-Acetyl-3-hydroxythiophene 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.

2-Acetyl-3-hydroxythiophene (CAS 5556-07-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H6O2S and a molecular weight of 142.18 g/mol.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-Acetyl-3-hydroxythiophene is typically off-white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 142.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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