1H-Indole-3-butanoic acid, 5-chloro-

Description:

1H-Indole-3-butanoic acid, 5-chloro- is a chemical compound characterized by its indole structure, which is a bicyclic compound consisting of a benzene ring fused to a pyrrole ring. The presence of a butanoic acid side chain at the 3-position and a chlorine atom at the 5-position of the indole ring distinguishes this compound. It is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water. This compound is of interest in various fields, including medicinal chemistry and plant growth regulation, due to its potential biological activities. It may exhibit properties such as auxin-like effects, influencing plant growth and development. Additionally, the chlorine substituent can affect the compound's reactivity and biological interactions. As with many indole derivatives, it may also be studied for its pharmacological properties, including potential anti-inflammatory or anticancer activities. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with all chemical substances, due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
