1-(3-Chlorobenzoyl)-5-methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indole-3-acetic Acid Methyl Ester (CAS 1568-36-1), molecular formula C20H18ClNO4 and molecular weight 371.81 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 1-(3-Chlorobenzoyl)-5-methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indole-3-acetic Acid Methyl Ester is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 371.81 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
