Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-5-(bromomethyl)thiophene CAS 59311-27-2 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-Bromo-5-(bromomethyl)thiophene (CAS 59311-27-2), molecular formula C5H4Br2S and molecular weight 255.96 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C5H4Br2S, 2-Bromo-5-(bromomethyl)thiophene contains sulfur-containing functionality, bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 255.96 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
