(5-Fluoro-1H-indol-1-yl)(2-methoxyphenyl)methanone CAS 820234-23-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (5-Fluoro-1H-indol-1-yl)(2-methoxyphenyl)methanone.

(5-Fluoro-1H-indol-1-yl)(2-methoxyphenyl)methanone (CAS 820234-23-9), molecular formula C16H12FNO2 and molecular weight 269.27 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C16H12FNO2, (5-Fluoro-1H-indol-1-yl)(2-methoxyphenyl)methanone contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 269.27 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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), (5-Fluoro-1H-indol-1-yl)(2-methoxyphenyl)methanone 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.
