5-(Bromomethyl)thiophene-3-carboxylic acid CAS 61854-97-5 chemical structure

Description

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

5-(Bromomethyl)thiophene-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 61854-97-5), molecular formula C6H5BrO2S and molecular weight 221.07 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

5-(Bromomethyl)thiophene-3-carboxylic acid (C6H5BrO2S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
