Chemical Structure

5-(2,4-Difluorophenyl)thiophene-2-carbaldehyde CAS 887986-73-4 chemical structure

Description

5-(2,4-Difluorophenyl)thiophene-2-carbaldehyde (CAS 887986-73-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H6F2OS and a molecular weight of 224.23 g/mol.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, 5-(2,4-Difluorophenyl)thiophene-2-carbaldehyde is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 224.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), 5-(2,4-Difluorophenyl)thiophene-2-carbaldehyde 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.
