Chemical Structure

3,6-Dimethylthieno[3.2-b]thiophene CAS 56412-11-4 chemical structure

Description

3,6-Dimethylthieno[3.2-b]thiophene (CAS 56412-11-4), molecular formula C8H8S2 and molecular weight 168.28 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, an aromatic ring system, 3,6-Dimethylthieno[3.2-b]thiophene is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 168.28 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.

CATO manufactures 3,6-Dimethylthieno[3.2-b]thiophene 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.
