Chemical Structure

(2,6-Dichlorophenyl)(1H-indol-1-yl)methanone CAS 87894-42-6 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, (2,6-Dichlorophenyl)(1H-indol-1-yl)methanone is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 290.14 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

CATO supplies (2,6-Dichlorophenyl)(1H-indol-1-yl)methanone (CAS 87894-42-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H9Cl2NO, MW 290.14 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (2,6-Dichlorophenyl)(1H-indol-1-yl)methanone meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
