Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-(5-Methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate CAS 17536-38-8 chemical structure

Description

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.

Ethyl 2-(5-Methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate (CAS 17536-38-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H17NO3 and a molecular weight of 247.29 g/mol.

Ethyl 2-(5-Methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate (C14H17NO3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; 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.

CATO manufactures Ethyl 2-(5-Methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate 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.
