Chemical Structure

Methyl 3-Iodothiophene-2-carboxylate CAS 62353-77-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 3-Iodothiophene-2-carboxylate is closely related to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Methyl 3-Iodothiophene-2-carboxylate (CAS 62353-77-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H5IO2S, MW 268.07 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Methyl 3-Iodothiophene-2-carboxylate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 268.07 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

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.
