Chemical Structure
Description
Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 228.25 g/mol gives Methyl 2-(5-cyano-1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Methyl 2-(5-cyano-1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate (CAS 796856-92-3), molecular formula C13H12N2O2 and molecular weight 228.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Methyl 2-(5-cyano-1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate (C13H12N2O2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, 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 aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
