The occurrence of 5-Bromothiazole-2(3H)-thione is closely related to a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
5-Bromothiazole-2(3H)-thione (CAS 63329-71-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C3H2BrNS2 and a molecular weight of 196.09 g/mol.
Owing to a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, bromine substitution, 5-Bromothiazole-2(3H)-thione is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 196.09 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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Bromothiazole-2(3H)-thione 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.
