Chemical Structure

2-(2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetonitrile CAS 4071-16-3 chemical structure

Description

2-(2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetonitrile (C11H10N2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

2-(2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 4071-16-3), molecular formula C11H10N2 and molecular weight 170.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetonitrile 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.
