China and Germany are the leading exporters of 2-Thiopheneethanol (CAS 5402-55-1), collectively accounting for the majority of global shipments in recent years, while the United States, South Korea, and India represent the largest importers. Trade volumes have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest growth in Asian demand coinciding with steady 2-Thiopheneethanol prices amid constrained supply from major European producers.
2-Thiopheneethanol is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with a mild characteristic odor and moderate volatility. It is an aromatic heterocyclic organic compound, classified as a thiophene derivative and functionalized alcohol. As a versatile synthetic intermediate, it serves primarily in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty fine chemicals—particularly in constructing bioactive molecules where the thiophene moiety imparts favorable electronic or metabolic properties. Its hydroxyl group enables straightforward derivatization (e.g., esterification, etherification, oxidation), making it valuable in routes to active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), herbicides, and functionalized polymers.
2-Thiopheneethanol is a thiophene derivative used in the preparation of oligothiophene isothiocyanates as fluorescent markers for biopolymers. 2-Thiopheneethanol is also used in the preparation of other biologically active compounds such as the analgesic Sulfentanyl and the antithrombotic Clopidogrel Hydrogen Sulfate (C587250).
