Chemical Structure

4-Bromo-5-phenylthiophene-2-carbaldehyde CAS 72899-38-8 chemical structure

Description

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

4-Bromo-5-phenylthiophene-2-carbaldehyde (CAS 72899-38-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H7BrOS and a molecular weight of 267.14 g/mol.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 4-Bromo-5-phenylthiophene-2-carbaldehyde is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 267.14 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).

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.
