Chemical Structure

2-(Difluoromethyl)thiophene CAS 98909-14-9 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-(Difluoromethyl)thiophene.

2-(Difluoromethyl)thiophene (CAS 98909-14-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C5H4F2S and a molecular weight of 134.15 g/mol.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, fluorine substitution, 2-(Difluoromethyl)thiophene is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 134.15 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(Difluoromethyl)thiophene 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.
