Chemical Structure

Benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-2,6-dicarbaldehyde CAS 85903-00-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 246.30 g/mol gives Benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-2,6-dicarbaldehyde distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-2,6-dicarbaldehyde (CAS 85903-00-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H6O2S2 and a molecular weight of 246.30 g/mol.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-2,6-dicarbaldehyde is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 246.30 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

CATO manufactures Benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-2,6-dicarbaldehyde under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
