2-(5-Chlorothiophen-2-yl)oxirane (CAS 73099-67-9), molecular formula C6H5ClOS and molecular weight 160.62 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 2-(5-Chlorothiophen-2-yl)oxirane is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 160.62 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.
