Chemical Structure

2-(3-Pivaloyl-1H-indol-1-yl)acetic acid CAS 842964-33-4 chemical structure

Description

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.

2-(3-Pivaloyl-1H-indol-1-yl)acetic acid (CAS 842964-33-4), molecular formula C15H17NO3 and molecular weight 259.30 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-(3-Pivaloyl-1H-indol-1-yl)acetic acid (C15H17NO3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, 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 259.30 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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).

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.
