Chemical Structure

3-Methyl-1-(p-tolyl)-1H-indole CAS 167558-64-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 3-Methyl-1-(p-tolyl)-1H-indole.

CATO supplies 3-Methyl-1-(p-tolyl)-1H-indole (CAS 167558-64-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H15N, MW 221.30 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

3-Methyl-1-(p-tolyl)-1H-indole (C16H15N) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures 3-Methyl-1-(p-tolyl)-1H-indole 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.
