Chemical Structure

1-Methyl-1H-indole-2-carbonitrile CAS 60680-97-9 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Methyl-1H-indole-2-carbonitrile 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.

CATO supplies 1-Methyl-1H-indole-2-carbonitrile (CAS 60680-97-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C10H8N2, MW 156.18 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of 1-Methyl-1H-indole-2-carbonitrile (C10H8N2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
