Chemical Structure

2-((1H-Indol-3-yl)methyl)-2-acetyl-4-oxopentanenitrile CAS 131920-07-5 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-((1H-Indol-3-yl)methyl)-2-acetyl-4-oxopentanenitrile (CAS 131920-07-5), molecular formula C16H16N2O2 and molecular weight 268.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-((1H-Indol-3-yl)methyl)-2-acetyl-4-oxopentanenitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 268.31 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO manufactures 2-((1H-Indol-3-yl)methyl)-2-acetyl-4-oxopentanenitrile 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.
