Chemical Structure

6-Hydroxy-1H-indole-7-carbaldehyde CAS 19502-40-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 6-Hydroxy-1H-indole-7-carbaldehyde is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

6-Hydroxy-1H-indole-7-carbaldehyde (CAS 19502-40-0), molecular formula C9H7NO2 and molecular weight 161.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

6-Hydroxy-1H-indole-7-carbaldehyde (C9H7NO2) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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.

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
