Chemical Structure

1-Acetyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-3-carboxylic acid CAS 73818-29-8 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 1-Acetyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-3-carboxylic acid is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 254.24 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

1-Acetyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 73818-29-8), molecular formula C14H10N2O3 and molecular weight 254.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.

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.
