6-Methoxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzo[b]thiophene is a key pharmaceutical intermediate, notably used in the synthesis of Raloxifene impurities and other selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). This compound exhibits a melting point of 191-197°C (lit.) and boiling point of 435.7±35.0°C (predicted). With a density of 1.194±0.06 g/cm³, it is soluble in chloroform and other organic solvents. The material should be stored in sealed containers at room temperature, protected from light. Safety precautions include wearing protective gloves due to potential skin irritation (GHS Category 2). Its molecular structure combines methoxy-substituted benzothiophene and phenyl moieties, making it valuable for designing bioactive molecules.
