Chemical Structure

Methyl 5-chloro-1-methyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylate CAS 148356-79-0 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 5-chloro-1-methyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.

CATO supplies Methyl 5-chloro-1-methyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (CAS 148356-79-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H10ClNO2, MW 223.66 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Methyl 5-chloro-1-methyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 223.66 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
