Chemical Structure

7-Methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-indole CAS 1167055-94-8 chemical structure

Description

7-Methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-indole (CAS 1167055-94-8), molecular formula C10H8F3NO and molecular weight 215.17 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, 7-Methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-indole is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 215.17 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), 7-Methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-indole 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.
