Chemical Structure

2-(1H-Indol-1-yl)-1-phenylethan-1-ol CAS 40899-74-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-(1H-Indol-1-yl)-1-phenylethan-1-ol (CAS 40899-74-9), molecular formula C16H15NO and molecular weight 237.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2-(1H-Indol-1-yl)-1-phenylethan-1-ol (C16H15NO) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(1H-Indol-1-yl)-1-phenylethan-1-ol 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.
