Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-4-(chloromethyl)thiophene CAS 73919-92-3 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 2-Bromo-4-(chloromethyl)thiophene (C5H4BrClS) is characterized by sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine/bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional 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).

2-Bromo-4-(chloromethyl)thiophene (CAS 73919-92-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H4BrClS and a molecular weight of 211.51 g/mol.

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), 2-Bromo-4-(chloromethyl)thiophene 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.
