Chemical Structure

2-(5-(Benzyloxy)-1H-indol-3-yl)acetamide CAS 5933-28-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-(5-(Benzyloxy)-1H-indol-3-yl)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.

CATO supplies 2-(5-(Benzyloxy)-1H-indol-3-yl)acetamide (CAS 5933-28-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H16N2O2, MW 280.32 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2-(5-(Benzyloxy)-1H-indol-3-yl)acetamide (C17H16N2O2) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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 2-(5-(Benzyloxy)-1H-indol-3-yl)acetamide 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.
