2-Chloro-5-ethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole (CAS 71859-81-9), molecular formula C4H5ClN2S and molecular weight 148.61 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 2-Chloro-5-ethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole (C4H5ClN2S) is characterized by a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).
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.
