Chemical Structure

2,5-Dimethylthiophene-3-carbonyl chloride CAS 57248-13-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2,5-Dimethylthiophene-3-carbonyl chloride is closely related to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2,5-Dimethylthiophene-3-carbonyl chloride (CAS 57248-13-2), molecular formula C7H7ClOS and molecular weight 174.65 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2,5-Dimethylthiophene-3-carbonyl chloride is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 174.65 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
