5,7-Diiodo-2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxine (CAS 640737-72-0), molecular formula C6H4I2O2S and molecular weight 393.97 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 5,7-Diiodo-2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxine is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 393.97 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).
CATO manufactures 5,7-Diiodo-2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxine 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.
