Chemical Structure

2-(5-Fluoro-1h-indol-3-yl)acetonitrile CAS 73139-85-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-(5-Fluoro-1h-indol-3-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 73139-85-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C10H7FN2 and a molecular weight of 174.17 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C10H7FN2, 2-(5-Fluoro-1h-indol-3-yl)acetonitrile contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 174.17 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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