Chemical Structure

(E)-Methyl 3-(thiophen-2-yl)acrylate CAS 57502-38-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (E)-Methyl 3-(thiophen-2-yl)acrylate.

(E)-Methyl 3-(thiophen-2-yl)acrylate (CAS 57502-38-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H8O2S and a molecular weight of 168.21 g/mol.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, (E)-Methyl 3-(thiophen-2-yl)acrylate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 168.21 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.

CATO manufactures (E)-Methyl 3-(thiophen-2-yl)acrylate 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.
