Chemical Structure

4-(1H-Indol-5-yl)benzoicacid CAS 886363-18-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies 4-(1H-Indol-5-yl)benzoicacid (CAS 886363-18-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H11NO2, MW 237.25 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

4-(1H-Indol-5-yl)benzoicacid (C15H11NO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
