Chemical Structure

2,4-Bis(5-iodo-1H-indol-1-yl)butane-1,3-diol CAS 690266-56-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

2,4-Bis(5-iodo-1H-indol-1-yl)butane-1,3-diol (CAS 690266-56-9), molecular formula C20H18I2N2O2 and molecular weight 572.18 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 2,4-Bis(5-iodo-1H-indol-1-yl)butane-1,3-diol (C20H18I2N2O2) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution. 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
