Chemical Structure

2-Ethyl 5-methyl 1H-indole-2,5-dicarboxylate CAS 884494-66-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 247.25 g/mol gives 2-Ethyl 5-methyl 1H-indole-2,5-dicarboxylate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-Ethyl 5-methyl 1H-indole-2,5-dicarboxylate (CAS 884494-66-0), molecular formula C13H13NO4 and molecular weight 247.25 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Ethyl 5-methyl 1H-indole-2,5-dicarboxylate (C13H13NO4) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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).

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), 2-Ethyl 5-methyl 1H-indole-2,5-dicarboxylate 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.
