Chemical Structure

(6-Chloro-1H-indol-2-yl)methanol CAS 53590-58-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (6-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.

(6-Chloro-1H-indol-2-yl)methanol (CAS 53590-58-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H8ClNO and a molecular weight of 181.62 g/mol.

Structurally, (6-Chloro-1H-indol-2-yl)methanol (C9H8ClNO) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 181.62 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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), (6-Chloro-1H-indol-2-yl)methanol 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.
