Chemical Structure

5-methoxy-4-nitro-1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid CAS 135531-95-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies 5-methoxy-4-nitro-1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 135531-95-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H8N2O5, MW 236.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

5-methoxy-4-nitro-1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid (C10H8N2O5) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
