Owing to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3-(2-Methyl-2-nitropropyl)-1H-indole is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 218.25 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.
3-(2-Methyl-2-nitropropyl)-1H-indole (CAS 835-40-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C12H14N2O2 and a molecular weight of 218.25 g/mol.
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), 3-(2-Methyl-2-nitropropyl)-1H-indole 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.
