Chemical Structure

Methyl 7-Fluoroindole-3-acetate CAS 1268340-21-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Methyl 7-Fluoroindole-3-acetate is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Methyl 7-Fluoroindole-3-acetate (CAS 1268340-21-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H10FNO2, MW 207.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Methyl 7-Fluoroindole-3-acetate (C11H10FNO2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
