Chemical Structure

1-(5-Methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)ethanone CAS 89671-81-8 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C11H11NO, 1-(5-Methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)ethanone contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 173.21 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

1-(5-Methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)ethanone (CAS 89671-81-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H11NO and a molecular weight of 173.21 g/mol.

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.
