2-(5-Methoxy-1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetic acid CAS 7510-15-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 219.24 g/mol gives 2-(5-Methoxy-1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 2-(5-Methoxy-1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetic acid (CAS 7510-15-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C12H13NO3, MW 219.24 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2-(5-Methoxy-1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetic acid (C12H13NO3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-(5-Methoxy-1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
