Chemical Structure

2-(Chloromethyl)-3-methylbenzo[b]thiophene CAS 58863-51-7 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-(Chloromethyl)-3-methylbenzo[b]thiophene (CAS 58863-51-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H9ClS and a molecular weight of 196.70 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-(Chloromethyl)-3-methylbenzo[b]thiophene (C10H9ClS) is characterized by sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
