Chemical Structure

(4-Chloro-1h-indol-2-yl)methanol CAS 53590-41-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (4-Chloro-1h-indol-2-yl)methanol is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(4-Chloro-1h-indol-2-yl)methanol (CAS 53590-41-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H8ClNO and a molecular weight of 181.62 g/mol.

(4-Chloro-1h-indol-2-yl)methanol (C9H8ClNO) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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 (4-Chloro-1h-indol-2-yl)methanol 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.
