Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-5-(methylthio)thiophene CAS 86369-96-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 209.13 g/mol gives 2-Bromo-5-(methylthio)thiophene distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-Bromo-5-(methylthio)thiophene (CAS 86369-96-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H5BrS2 and a molecular weight of 209.13 g/mol.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, bromine substitution, 2-Bromo-5-(methylthio)thiophene is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 209.13 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Bromo-5-(methylthio)thiophene 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.
