Chemical Structure

4,5-Bis(chloromethyl)thiophene-2-carbaldehyde CAS 7311-72-0 chemical structure

Description

4,5-Bis(chloromethyl)thiophene-2-carbaldehyde (CAS 7311-72-0), molecular formula C7H6Cl2OS and molecular weight 209.09 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

4,5-Bis(chloromethyl)thiophene-2-carbaldehyde (C7H6Cl2OS) contains sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4,5-Bis(chloromethyl)thiophene-2-carbaldehyde 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.
