Chemical Structure

2-(6-fluoro-1H-indol-3-yl)acetonitrile CAS 2341-25-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(6-fluoro-1H-indol-3-yl)acetonitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-(6-fluoro-1H-indol-3-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 2341-25-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H15FN2, MW 182.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution, 2-(6-fluoro-1H-indol-3-yl)acetonitrile is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 182.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures 2-(6-fluoro-1H-indol-3-yl)acetonitrile 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.
