Chemical Structure

5-Bromo-3-chlorothiophene-2-carboxylic acid CAS 842135-76-6 chemical structure

Description

5-Bromo-3-chlorothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 842135-76-6), molecular formula C5H2BrClO2S and molecular weight 241.49 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 5-Bromo-3-chlorothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (C5H2BrClO2S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 241.49 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-Bromo-3-chlorothiophene-2-carboxylic acid 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.
