1H-Indole-2-carboxylic acid, 4-methyl-, ethyl ester

Description:
1H-Indole-2-carboxylic acid, 4-methyl-, ethyl ester, with the CAS number 16732-80-2, is an organic compound characterized by its indole structure, which consists of a fused benzene and pyrrole ring. This compound features a carboxylic acid functional group at the 2-position and an ethyl ester at the 4-methyl position, contributing to its unique chemical properties. It is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature due to the indole moiety. The presence of the ethyl ester group enhances its lipophilicity, making it potentially useful in various applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The compound may exhibit biological activity, as many indole derivatives are known for their roles in medicinal chemistry, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Its synthesis often involves esterification reactions, and it can be analyzed using techniques such as NMR and mass spectrometry to confirm its structure and purity.
