Description
5-(Trifluoromethyl)indole is a fluorinated indole building block supplied at a minimum purity of 90 %, with CAS number 100846-24-0, empirical formula C₉H₆F₃N and a molar mass of 185,15 g/mol. The trifluoromethyl substituent on the indole scaffold makes this intermediate relevant for medicinal chemistry, agrochemical research and the synthesis of specialised heterocyclic targets. This material is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH in the biochemicals and fine-chemicals offering, with identity data suitable for laboratory documentation and inventory control. The indole core combined with the CF₃ group supports electrophilic and metal-mediated functionalisation routes common in modern organic synthesis. Classification includes UN number 2811; users should apply appropriate handling measures for toxic solid organic substances. Cold storage conditions apply as specified for this grade. The min.

Questions about 5-(Trifluoromethyl)indole, min. 90 %, 5 g
What is this article?
5-(Trifluoromethyl)indole, min. 90 %, 5 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Photometers & spectrophotometers, inside Spectroscopy & photometry, in Lab instruments.
A photometer reads absorbance at one or a few wavelengths. A spectrophotometer scans or selects many. Both send light through a cuvette or a well. The wavelength range, UV or visible, and the bandwidth decide what can be measured. A visible-only instrument cannot read a nucleic acid at 260 nm.
A photometer or spectrophotometer sends light through a sample and reads how much was absorbed. In the range where the Beer–Lambert relation holds, absorbance tracks concentration. A refractometer reads how a liquid bends light, which tracks dissolved solids. A polarimeter reads the rotation of polarised light, the classical measurement for sugars. The lamp, the wavelength and the cuvette path length are the three things that have to be right before the number means anything. The optical quantities trace to NIST and the BIPM.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Spectroscopy & photometry. The sub-category is Photometers & spectrophotometers. The catalogue is Lab instruments.
