Chemical Structure

2-[2-Methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]ethanamine CAS 299440-76-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-[2-Methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]ethanamine 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.

2-[2-Methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]ethanamine (CAS 299440-76-9), molecular formula C12H13F3N2 and molecular weight 242.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution, 2-[2-Methyl-7-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]ethanamine is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 242.24 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.
