4-Bromo-5-chlorothiophene-2-carboxylic Acid (CAS 60729-37-5), molecular formula C5H2BrClO2S and molecular weight 241.49 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 4-Bromo-5-chlorothiophene-2-carboxylic Acid (C5H2BrClO2S) is characterized by a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).
CATO manufactures 4-Bromo-5-chlorothiophene-2-carboxylic Acid 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.
