Chemical Structure

Ethyl 1-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-4-nitro-1H-indole-2-carboxylate CAS 220677-29-2 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 Ethyl 1-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-4-nitro-1H-indole-2-carboxylate.

CATO supplies Ethyl 1-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-4-nitro-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (CAS 220677-29-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H14Cl2N2O4, MW 393.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Ethyl 1-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-4-nitro-1H-indole-2-carboxylate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 393.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
