Chemical Structure

2-(1H-Indol-2-yl)ethanamine CAS 496-42-4 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, 2-(1H-Indol-2-yl)ethanamine is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 160.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

2-(1H-Indol-2-yl)ethanamine (CAS 496-42-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H12N2 and a molecular weight of 160.22 g/mol.

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.
