Chemical Structure

Ethyl 6-Bromoindole-2-carboxylate CAS 103858-53-3 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 Ethyl 6-Bromoindole-2-carboxylate.

CATO supplies Ethyl 6-Bromoindole-2-carboxylate (CAS 103858-53-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H10BrNO2, MW 268.11 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Ethyl 6-Bromoindole-2-carboxylate (C11H10BrNO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 268.11 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

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.
