Chemical Structure

3-(2-Phenyl-1H-indol-3-yl)propanoic acid CAS 62663-27-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(2-Phenyl-1H-indol-3-yl)propanoic acid 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.

3-(2-Phenyl-1H-indol-3-yl)propanoic acid (CAS 62663-27-8), molecular formula C17H15NO2 and molecular weight 265.31 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-(2-Phenyl-1H-indol-3-yl)propanoic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 265.31 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-(2-Phenyl-1H-indol-3-yl)propanoic acid 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.
