Chemical Structure

1-(1H-Indol-3-yl)ethane-1,2-diol CAS 2400-47-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-(1H-Indol-3-yl)ethane-1,2-diol 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.

1-(1H-Indol-3-yl)ethane-1,2-diol (CAS 2400-47-7), molecular formula C10H11NO2 and molecular weight 177.20 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 1-(1H-Indol-3-yl)ethane-1,2-diol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 177.20 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 1-(1H-Indol-3-yl)ethane-1,2-diol 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.
