Chemical Structure

Ethyl (8-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-5-yl)acetate hydrochloride CAS 866460-81-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ethyl (8-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-5-yl)acetate hydrochloride is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ethyl (8-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-5-yl)acetate hydrochloride (CAS 866460-81-3), molecular formula C16H20N2O2HCl and molecular weight 308.81 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Ethyl (8-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-5-yl)acetate hydrochloride (C16H20N2O2HCl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 308.81 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-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.

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.

CATO manufactures Ethyl (8-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol-5-yl)acetate hydrochloride 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.
