Chemical Structure

2,2,2-Trifluoro-1-(4-methyl-3-indolyl)ethanone CAS 79878-01-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 227.18 g/mol gives 2,2,2-Trifluoro-1-(4-methyl-3-indolyl)ethanone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2,2,2-Trifluoro-1-(4-methyl-3-indolyl)ethanone (CAS 79878-01-6), molecular formula C11H8F3NO and molecular weight 227.18 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, fluorine substitution, 2,2,2-Trifluoro-1-(4-methyl-3-indolyl)ethanone is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 227.18 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

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.
