Chemical Structure

3-methylhydroxyindole CAS 1504-06-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-methylhydroxyindole is closely related to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-methylhydroxyindole (CAS 1504-06-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H15NO and a molecular weight of 153.22 g/mol.

Structurally, 3-methylhydroxyindole (C9H15NO) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 153.22 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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.

CATO manufactures 3-methylhydroxyindole 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.
