Chemical Structure

1-Ethyl-1H-indole-5-carbaldehyde CAS 944893-74-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-Ethyl-1H-indole-5-carbaldehyde is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1-Ethyl-1H-indole-5-carbaldehyde (CAS 944893-74-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C11H11NO and a molecular weight of 173.21 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 1-Ethyl-1H-indole-5-carbaldehyde is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 173.21 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

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.
