Chemical Structure

2-(Thiophen-2-ylsulfanyl)-ethanol CAS 55697-86-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(Thiophen-2-ylsulfanyl)-ethanol is closely related to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(Thiophen-2-ylsulfanyl)-ethanol (CAS 55697-86-4), molecular formula C6H8OS2 and molecular weight 160.26 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-(Thiophen-2-ylsulfanyl)-ethanol (C6H8OS2) contains sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 160.26 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(Thiophen-2-ylsulfanyl)-ethanol 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.
