2-(4-Chloro-2,7-dimethyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetic acid CAS 105908-44-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(4-Chloro-2,7-dimethyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetic acid is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-(4-Chloro-2,7-dimethyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetic acid (CAS 105908-44-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H12ClNO2, MW 237.68 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2-(4-Chloro-2,7-dimethyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetic acid (C12H12ClNO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
