5-Hydroxy-2-methylindole

Description:

5-Hydroxy-2-methylindole, with the CAS number 13314-85-7, is an organic compound that belongs to the indole family, characterized by a bicyclic structure containing a fused benzene and pyrrole ring. This compound features a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the 5-position and a methyl group (-CH3) at the 2-position of the indole ring, which influences its chemical reactivity and biological properties. It is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate solubility in polar solvents due to the presence of the hydroxyl group. 5-Hydroxy-2-methylindole is of interest in various fields, including medicinal chemistry and biochemistry, as it may play a role in biological processes or serve as a precursor for the synthesis of other compounds. Its properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and spectral characteristics, can vary based on purity and environmental conditions. As with many indole derivatives, it may exhibit fluorescence and participate in various chemical reactions, making it a valuable compound for research and application in organic synthesis.

5-Hydroxy-2-methylindole is a product that transfers serotonin and melatonin, which are neurotransmitters. It can be used in animal studies to investigate the effects on cancer cells and its potential as an anti-cancer agent. 5-Hydroxy-2-methylindole can also be used to stabilize nitro compounds, such as TNT and RDX, by inhibiting the oxidation of these substances. This compound has been shown to have antiviral properties against HIV and HSV and may also have potentials for treating Alzheimer's disease. 5-Hydroxy-2-methylindole is synthesized by reacting indole with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a halogeno (e.g., chlorine) or ferrous salts. The reaction rate of this synthesis depends on the concentrations of these reactants.
