Chemical Structure

Indole-5-carbaldehyde CAS 1196-69-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Indole-5-carbaldehyde is closely related to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Indole-5-carbaldehyde (CAS 1196-69-6), molecular formula C9H15NO and molecular weight 153.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Indole-5-carbaldehyde (C9H15NO) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its physicochemical properties are representative of its class; 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).

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.

CATO manufactures Indole-5-carbaldehyde under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
