Chemical Structure

tert-Butyl 3-(bromomethyl)-1H-indole-1-carboxylate CAS 96551-21-2 chemical structure

Description

tert-Butyl 3-(bromomethyl)-1H-indole-1-carboxylate (C14H16BrNO2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, 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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

tert-Butyl 3-(bromomethyl)-1H-indole-1-carboxylate (CAS 96551-21-2), molecular formula C14H16BrNO2 and molecular weight 310.19 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.

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.
