Chemical Structure

(4-Methylthiophen-2-yl)(phenyl)methanone CAS 56004-63-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (4-Methylthiophen-2-yl)(phenyl)methanone is closely related to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies (4-Methylthiophen-2-yl)(phenyl)methanone (CAS 56004-63-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H10OS, MW 202.27 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, (4-Methylthiophen-2-yl)(phenyl)methanone is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 202.27 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (4-Methylthiophen-2-yl)(phenyl)methanone 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.
