Chemical Structure

2-(5-Acetylthiophen-2-yl)acetic acid CAS 66738-55-4 chemical structure

Description

2-(5-Acetylthiophen-2-yl)acetic acid (CAS 66738-55-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8H8O3S and a molecular weight of 184.21 g/mol.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, 2-(5-Acetylthiophen-2-yl)acetic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 184.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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