Chemical Structure
Description
As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 3-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indole-2-carboxylate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
Ethyl 3-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (CAS 37945-37-2), molecular formula C12H17NO2 and molecular weight 207.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Ethyl 3-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indole-2-carboxylate (C12H17NO2) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
