The occurrence of (3-Chloro-5-fluorophenyl)(thiophen-3-yl)methanone is closely related to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies (3-Chloro-5-fluorophenyl)(thiophen-3-yl)methanone (CAS 898771-44-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H6ClFOS, MW 240.68 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, (3-Chloro-5-fluorophenyl)(thiophen-3-yl)methanone is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 240.68 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.
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.
