Chemical Structure

5-Methyl-1H-indole-4-carboxylic acid CAS 1360950-77-1 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 5-Methyl-1H-indole-4-carboxylic acid (CAS 1360950-77-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H9NO2, MW 175.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 5-Methyl-1H-indole-4-carboxylic acid (C10H9NO2) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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 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).

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

CATO manufactures 5-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.
