Chemical Structure

Ethyl 3-(5-Methoxy-3-indolyl)propanoate CAS 76834-78-1 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 3-(5-Methoxy-3-indolyl)propanoate 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.

Ethyl 3-(5-Methoxy-3-indolyl)propanoate (CAS 76834-78-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C14H17NO3 and a molecular weight of 247.29 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Ethyl 3-(5-Methoxy-3-indolyl)propanoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 247.29 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
