Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-(5-chloro-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate CAS 3446-72-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 2-(5-chloro-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ethyl 2-(5-chloro-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate (CAS 3446-72-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C13H14ClNO2 and a molecular weight of 251.71 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C13H14ClNO2, Ethyl 2-(5-chloro-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 251.71 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

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.
