Chemical Structure

3-Bromo-2-(methylthio)thiophene CAS 66768-75-0 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 3-Bromo-2-(methylthio)thiophene (C5H5BrS2) contains sulfur-containing functionality, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 209.13 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

3-Bromo-2-(methylthio)thiophene (CAS 66768-75-0), molecular formula C5H5BrS2 and molecular weight 209.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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

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.
