Methyl 5-methylthiophene-3-carboxylate CAS 88770-18-7 chemical structure

Description

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.

Methyl 5-methylthiophene-3-carboxylate (CAS 88770-18-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H8O2S and a molecular weight of 156.20 g/mol.

Methyl 5-methylthiophene-3-carboxylate (C7H8O2S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
