Chemical Structure

5-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-4-methylthiophene-2-carboxylic acid CAS 878680-51-4 chemical structure

Description

5-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-4-methylthiophene-2-carboxylic acid (C13H12O3S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

5-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-4-methylthiophene-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 878680-51-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H12O3S and a molecular weight of 248.30 g/mol.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

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.
