Methyl 4-(1H-indol-3-yl)-4-oxobut-2-enoate CAS 59000-14-5

Description

Methyl 4-(1H-indol-3-yl)-4-oxobut-2-enoate (CAS 59000-14-5), molecular formula C13H11NO3 and molecular weight 229.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 4-(1H-indol-3-yl)-4-oxobut-2-enoate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 229.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), Methyl 4-(1H-indol-3-yl)-4-oxobut-2-enoate 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.
