Chemical Structure

3-Bromo-5-methyl-2-phenylthiophene CAS 61285-23-2 chemical structure

Description

3-Bromo-5-methyl-2-phenylthiophene (CAS 61285-23-2), molecular formula C11H9BrS and molecular weight 253.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 3-Bromo-5-methyl-2-phenylthiophene (C11H9BrS) is characterized by sulfur-containing functionality, bromine 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. 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-Bromo-5-methyl-2-phenylthiophene meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
