Chemical Structure

5-Bromo-1-methyl-1H,1'H-3,4'-biindole CAS 89346-31-6 chemical structure

Description

5-Bromo-1-methyl-1H,1'H-3,4'-biindole (CAS 89346-31-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H13BrN2 and a molecular weight of 325.20 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 5-Bromo-1-methyl-1H,1'H-3,4'-biindole (C17H13BrN2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

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.
