Ethyl 5-(3-methyl-2-thienyl)-5-oxovalerate CAS 951889-13-7

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 240.32 g/mol gives Ethyl 5-(3-methyl-2-thienyl)-5-oxovalerate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Ethyl 5-(3-methyl-2-thienyl)-5-oxovalerate (CAS 951889-13-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H16O3S, MW 240.32 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Ethyl 5-(3-methyl-2-thienyl)-5-oxovalerate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 240.32 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
