Chemical Structure

Methyl 1H-indene-3-carboxylate CAS 39891-79-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Methyl 1H-indene-3-carboxylate (CAS 39891-79-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H10O2, MW 174.20 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Methyl 1H-indene-3-carboxylate (C11H10O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. 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).

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 Methyl 1H-indene-3-carboxylate 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.
