Chemical Structure

1-Boc-4-bromo-3-cyanoacetylindole CAS 1171917-34-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-Boc-4-bromo-3-cyanoacetylindole is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 1-Boc-4-bromo-3-cyanoacetylindole (CAS 1171917-34-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H15BrN2O3, MW 363.21 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, 1-Boc-4-bromo-3-cyanoacetylindole is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 363.21 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).

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Boc-4-bromo-3-cyanoacetylindole 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.
