Chemical Structure

2-(4-Methylthiophen-2-yl)ethan-1-ol CAS 874512-96-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 142.22 g/mol gives 2-(4-Methylthiophen-2-yl)ethan-1-ol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-(4-Methylthiophen-2-yl)ethan-1-ol (CAS 874512-96-6), molecular formula C7H10OS and molecular weight 142.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-(4-Methylthiophen-2-yl)ethan-1-ol is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 142.22 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.

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.
