Chemical Structure

2-(1-Benzyl-5-nitro-1H-indol-4-yl)acetonitrile CAS 120627-50-1 chemical structure

Description

2-(1-Benzyl-5-nitro-1H-indol-4-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 120627-50-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H13N3O2 and a molecular weight of 291.30 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 2-(1-Benzyl-5-nitro-1H-indol-4-yl)acetonitrile (C17H13N3O2) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
