2-(3-Formyl-1H-indol-1-yl)-N-(o-tolyl)acetamide CAS 592546-19-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(3-Formyl-1H-indol-1-yl)-N-(o-tolyl)acetamide is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-(3-Formyl-1H-indol-1-yl)-N-(o-tolyl)acetamide (CAS 592546-19-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H16N2O2 and a molecular weight of 292.33 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-(3-Formyl-1H-indol-1-yl)-N-(o-tolyl)acetamide is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 292.33 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), 2-(3-Formyl-1H-indol-1-yl)-N-(o-tolyl)acetamide 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.
