Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-Bromo-2-(bromomethyl)-5-methylthiophene.
CATO supplies 3-Bromo-2-(bromomethyl)-5-methylthiophene (CAS 857360-05-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C6H6Br2S, MW 269.98 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, 3-Bromo-2-(bromomethyl)-5-methylthiophene (C6H6Br2S) contains sulfur-containing functionality, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 269.98 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
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.
