Chemical Structure

6-Chloro-2-methyl-1H-indole-4-carboxylic acid CAS 1260386-84-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 6-Chloro-2-methyl-1H-indole-4-carboxylic acid is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

6-Chloro-2-methyl-1H-indole-4-carboxylic acid (CAS 1260386-84-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H8ClNO2 and a molecular weight of 209.63 g/mol.

Structurally, 6-Chloro-2-methyl-1H-indole-4-carboxylic acid (C10H8ClNO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 209.63 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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 6-Chloro-2-methyl-1H-indole-4-carboxylic acid 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.
