1H-Indole-3-propanoic acid, a-hydroxy-, methyl ester

Description:
1H-Indole-3-propanoic acid, α-hydroxy-, methyl ester, commonly referred to as methyl indole-3-propanoate, is an organic compound characterized by its indole structure, which is a bicyclic compound consisting of a benzene ring fused to a pyrrole ring. This compound features a propanoic acid moiety with an α-hydroxy group and a methyl ester functional group, contributing to its solubility and reactivity. It is typically a white to off-white solid or a viscous liquid, depending on its purity and formulation. The presence of the indole ring suggests potential biological activity, as indole derivatives are known for their roles in various biochemical processes, including plant growth regulation and as precursors to important natural products. The compound may exhibit properties such as moderate polarity, making it soluble in organic solvents while having limited solubility in water. Its applications may extend to research in plant hormones, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, although specific uses can vary based on ongoing studies and discoveries in the field.
