Diethyl 2-((5-bromo-1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)malonate CAS 93941-03-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Diethyl 2-((5-bromo-1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)malonate.

Diethyl 2-((5-bromo-1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)malonate (CAS 93941-03-8), molecular formula C16H16BrNO4 and molecular weight 366.21 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, Diethyl 2-((5-bromo-1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)malonate is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 366.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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), Diethyl 2-((5-bromo-1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)malonate 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.
