Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 362.17 g/mol gives Ethyl 8-bromo-2-methyl-4,5-dioxo-4,5-dihydro-3H-benzo[e]indole-1-carboxylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Ethyl 8-bromo-2-methyl-4,5-dioxo-4,5-dihydro-3H-benzo[e]indole-1-carboxylate (CAS 88418-61-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H12BrNO4 and a molecular weight of 362.17 g/mol.
Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, Ethyl 8-bromo-2-methyl-4,5-dioxo-4,5-dihydro-3H-benzo[e]indole-1-carboxylate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 362.17 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethyl 8-bromo-2-methyl-4,5-dioxo-4,5-dihydro-3H-benzo[e]indole-1-carboxylate 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.
