Chemical Structure

(2-(1H-indol-3-yl)acetyl)-L-leucine CAS 36838-63-8 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.

(2-(1H-indol-3-yl)acetyl)-L-leucine (CAS 36838-63-8), molecular formula C16H20N2O3 and molecular weight 288.34 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (2-(1H-indol-3-yl)acetyl)-L-leucine is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 288.34 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).

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