Chemical Structure

Methyl 6-fluoro-3-methylbenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate CAS 863119-54-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Methyl 6-fluoro-3-methylbenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate (CAS 863119-54-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H9FO2S, MW 224.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Methyl 6-fluoro-3-methylbenzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxylate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 224.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
