1H-Indol-3-ol, 2-methyl-, 3-acetate

Description:

1H-Indol-3-ol, 2-methyl-, 3-acetate, also known as 2-methyl-3-acetoxyindole, is an organic compound characterized by its indole structure, which consists of a fused benzene and pyrrole ring. This compound features a methyl group at the 2-position and an acetate group at the 3-position of the indole ring. It is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and dichloromethane, but may have limited solubility in water. The presence of the acetate group suggests that it may exhibit ester-like properties, potentially influencing its reactivity and interactions in biological systems. This compound may be of interest in various fields, including medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis, due to its structural features that could contribute to biological activity. Additionally, its derivatives are often studied for their potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.
