CAS 1011-65-0: 5-Indolecarboxylic acid methyl ester
Description:5-Indolecarboxylic acid methyl ester, also known as methyl 5-indolecarboxylate, is an organic compound characterized by its indole structure, which consists of a fused benzene and pyrrole ring. This compound features a carboxylic acid group that is esterified with a methyl group, contributing to its reactivity and solubility properties. It is typically a white to off-white solid or a viscous liquid, depending on the specific conditions. The presence of the indole moiety imparts unique biological activities, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and drug development. The compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and dichloromethane, but has limited solubility in water. Its synthesis often involves the esterification of 5-indolecarboxylic acid with methanol, and it can be utilized in various chemical reactions, including as a building block for more complex organic molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
