Chemical Structure

2-Methoxythiophene-3-carboxylic acid CAS 71154-29-5 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-Methoxythiophene-3-carboxylic acid.

2-Methoxythiophene-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 71154-29-5), molecular formula C6H6O3S and molecular weight 158.18 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, an aromatic ring system, 2-Methoxythiophene-3-carboxylic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 158.18 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).

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Methoxythiophene-3-carboxylic acid 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.
