Chemical Structure

5-Ethyl-2-methyl-1H-indole CAS 85654-48-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5-Ethyl-2-methyl-1H-indole is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

5-Ethyl-2-methyl-1H-indole (CAS 85654-48-4), molecular formula C11H13N and molecular weight 159.23 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 5-Ethyl-2-methyl-1H-indole (C11H13N) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 159.23 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
