Chemical Structure

methyl (2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)(oxo)acetate CAS 62995-59-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 217.22 g/mol gives methyl (2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)(oxo)acetate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

methyl (2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)(oxo)acetate (CAS 62995-59-9), molecular formula C12H11NO3 and molecular weight 217.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, methyl (2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)(oxo)acetate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 217.22 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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 methyl (2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)(oxo)acetate 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.
