Chemical Structure

Methyl 4-iodo-5-methylthiophene-2-carboxylate CAS 945391-64-0 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 4-iodo-5-methylthiophene-2-carboxylate.

Methyl 4-iodo-5-methylthiophene-2-carboxylate (CAS 945391-64-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C7H7IO2S and a molecular weight of 282.10 g/mol.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Methyl 4-iodo-5-methylthiophene-2-carboxylate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 282.10 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), Methyl 4-iodo-5-methylthiophene-2-carboxylate 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.
