Methyl 2-(6-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate CAS 123380-87-0

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 219.24 g/mol gives Methyl 2-(6-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Methyl 2-(6-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate (CAS 123380-87-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H13NO3 and a molecular weight of 219.24 g/mol.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 2-(6-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 219.24 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.
