Chemical Structure

3-(5-chloro-1H-indol-1-yl)propanoic acid CAS 18108-89-9 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-(5-chloro-1H-indol-1-yl)propanoic acid.

3-(5-chloro-1H-indol-1-yl)propanoic acid (CAS 18108-89-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H10ClNO2 and a molecular weight of 223.66 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 3-(5-chloro-1H-indol-1-yl)propanoic acid (C11H10ClNO2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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-(5-chloro-1H-indol-1-yl)propanoic acid 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.
