Chemical Structure

6-methoxy-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-β]indole CAS 20315-68-8 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 6-methoxy-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-β]indole is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 202.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

6-methoxy-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-β]indole (CAS 20315-68-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H14N2O and a molecular weight of 202.25 g/mol.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 6-methoxy-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,4-β]indole meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
