Chemical Structure

2-Methyl-2-[5-(trifluoromethyl)thiophen-2-yl]propanoic acid CAS 950604-92-9 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 2-Methyl-2-[5-(trifluoromethyl)thiophen-2-yl]propanoic acid.

2-Methyl-2-[5-(trifluoromethyl)thiophen-2-yl]propanoic acid (CAS 950604-92-9), molecular formula C10H11F3O2S and molecular weight 252.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C10H11F3O2S, 2-Methyl-2-[5-(trifluoromethyl)thiophen-2-yl]propanoic acid contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 252.25 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
