Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(6-Fluoro-3-indolyl)-2-oxoacetate CAS 345265-51-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

Methyl 2-(6-Fluoro-3-indolyl)-2-oxoacetate (CAS 345265-51-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H8FNO3 and a molecular weight of 221.18 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Methyl 2-(6-Fluoro-3-indolyl)-2-oxoacetate (C11H8FNO3) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
