Chemical Structure

1-(5-(Trifluoromethoxy)-1H-indol-3-yl)ethan-1-one CAS 1386456-79-6 chemical structure

Description

1-(5-(Trifluoromethoxy)-1H-indol-3-yl)ethan-1-one (CAS 1386456-79-6), molecular formula C11H8F3NO2 and molecular weight 243.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C11H8F3NO2, 1-(5-(Trifluoromethoxy)-1H-indol-3-yl)ethan-1-one contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 243.18 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
