Chemical Structure

tert-Butyl 3-(cyanomethyl)-5-methoxy-1H-indole-1-carboxylate CAS 896101-79-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies tert-Butyl 3-(cyanomethyl)-5-methoxy-1H-indole-1-carboxylate (CAS 896101-79-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H18N2O3, MW 286.33 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of tert-Butyl 3-(cyanomethyl)-5-methoxy-1H-indole-1-carboxylate (C16H18N2O3) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

CATO manufactures tert-Butyl 3-(cyanomethyl)-5-methoxy-1H-indole-1-carboxylate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
