5-Hydroxyindole

Description:

5-Hydroxyindole, also known as 5-hydroxy-1H-indole, is an organic compound characterized by its indole structure with a hydroxyl group at the 5-position. It is a derivative of indole, which is a bicyclic structure composed of a six-membered benzene ring fused to a five-membered nitrogen-containing pyrrole ring. This compound is typically a white to pale yellow solid and is soluble in polar solvents. 5-Hydroxyindole is of interest in biochemical research due to its relation to serotonin, as it can be involved in various metabolic pathways. It may exhibit biological activity, including potential roles in neurotransmission and regulation of mood. The compound's properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and reactivity, can vary depending on environmental conditions and the presence of other substances. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling 5-hydroxyindole, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
