2-{3-[2-(1H-indol-1-yl)ethyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl}acetonitrile CAS 790263-35-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-{3-[2-(1H-indol-1-yl)ethyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl}acetonitrile is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-{3-[2-(1H-indol-1-yl)ethyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl}acetonitrile (CAS 790263-35-3), molecular formula C14H12N4O and molecular weight 252.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-{3-[2-(1H-indol-1-yl)ethyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl}acetonitrile is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 252.27 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
