Chemical Structure

1-Methoxycarbonyl-β-carboline CAS 3464-66-2 chemical structure

Description

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

1-Methoxycarbonyl-β-carboline (CAS 3464-66-2), molecular formula C13H10N2O2 and molecular weight 226.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 1-Methoxycarbonyl-β-carboline (C13H10N2O2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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. 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).

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.
