1-(2-Chloro-4-fluorobenzyl)-3-formyl-6-methoxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 1243023-71-3), molecular formula C18H13ClFNO4 and molecular weight 361.75 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Based on its molecular formula C18H13ClFNO4, 1-(2-Chloro-4-fluorobenzyl)-3-formyl-6-methoxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 361.75 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
