Chemical Structure

Ethyl 2-(5-bromo-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate CAS 72016-68-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl 2-(5-bromo-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ethyl 2-(5-bromo-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate (CAS 72016-68-3), molecular formula C13H14BrNO2 and molecular weight 296.16 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Ethyl 2-(5-bromo-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate (C13H14BrNO2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine 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 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).

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 Ethyl 2-(5-bromo-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-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.
