Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-(2-oxobenzo[cd]indol-1(2H)-yl)acetate CAS 663167-46-2 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 2-(2-oxobenzo[cd]indol-1(2H)-yl)acetate.

Methyl 2-(2-oxobenzo[cd]indol-1(2H)-yl)acetate (CAS 663167-46-2), molecular formula C14H11NO3 and molecular weight 241.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Methyl 2-(2-oxobenzo[cd]indol-1(2H)-yl)acetate (C14H11NO3) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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. 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-(2-oxobenzo[cd]indol-1(2H)-yl)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.
