Chemical Structure

3-(Benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)-2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid CAS 81886-34-2 chemical structure

Description

3-(Benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)-2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid (CAS 81886-34-2), molecular formula C13H14O2S and molecular weight 234.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C13H14O2S, 3-(Benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)-2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 234.31 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
