Chemical Structure

4-(1h-Indol-3-yl)-4-oxobutanoicacid CAS 835-45-0 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 4-(1h-Indol-3-yl)-4-oxobutanoicacid (C12H11NO3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 217.22 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

4-(1h-Indol-3-yl)-4-oxobutanoicacid (CAS 835-45-0), molecular formula C12H11NO3 and molecular weight 217.22 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
