2-Iodo-1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carbonitrile (CAS 490039-77-5), molecular formula C10H7IN2 and molecular weight 282.08 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of 2-Iodo-1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carbonitrile (C10H7IN2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, iodine substitution. 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Iodo-1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carbonitrile 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.
