Chemical Structure
Description
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
Methyl 4-Methylindole-3-carboxylate (CAS 858515-77-2), molecular formula C11H11NO2 and molecular weight 189.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
The molecular framework of Methyl 4-Methylindole-3-carboxylate (C11H11NO2) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.
CATO manufactures Methyl 4-Methylindole-3-carboxylate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
