Chemical Structure

4-Bromo-7-methoxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid CAS 900640-38-2 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 4-Bromo-7-methoxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid (C10H8BrNO3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 270.08 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

4-Bromo-7-methoxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid (CAS 900640-38-2), molecular formula C10H8BrNO3 and molecular weight 270.08 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Bromo-7-methoxy-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid 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.
