Chemical Structure

Ethyl 6-bromo-5-methoxy-2-methyl-1-(p-tolyl)-1H-indole-3-carboxylate CAS 939357-55-8 chemical structure

Description

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 supplies Ethyl 6-bromo-5-methoxy-2-methyl-1-(p-tolyl)-1H-indole-3-carboxylate (CAS 939357-55-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H20BrNO3, MW 402.28 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Ethyl 6-bromo-5-methoxy-2-methyl-1-(p-tolyl)-1H-indole-3-carboxylate (C20H20BrNO3) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
