Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-5-methyl-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde CAS 1388058-58-9 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, 2-Bromo-5-methyl-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 238.08 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

2-Bromo-5-methyl-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde (CAS 1388058-58-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H8BrNO and a molecular weight of 238.08 g/mol.
