2-chloro-1-(5-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)ethan-1-one CAS 38693-12-8 chemical structure

Description

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

2-chloro-1-(5-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)ethan-1-one (CAS 38693-12-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H18ClNO and a molecular weight of 215.72 g/mol.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 2-chloro-1-(5-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)ethan-1-one is typically white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 215.72 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures 2-chloro-1-(5-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)ethan-1-one under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
