Chemical Structure

2-Chloro-1-(2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-2-phenylethan-1-one CAS 57642-01-0 chemical structure

Description

2-Chloro-1-(2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-2-phenylethan-1-one (C17H14ClNO) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; 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.

2-Chloro-1-(2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-2-phenylethan-1-one (CAS 57642-01-0), molecular formula C17H14ClNO and molecular weight 283.75 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
