1H-Indole-2-acetic acid, methyl ester

Description:
1H-Indole-2-acetic acid, methyl ester, commonly referred to as methyl indole-2-acetate, 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 is a derivative of indole-2-acetic acid, a naturally occurring plant hormone known as auxin, which plays a crucial role in plant growth and development. Methyl indole-2-acetate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. The compound exhibits biological activity, particularly in plant physiology, where it can influence cell elongation and differentiation. Additionally, it may have applications in agricultural practices as a growth regulator. Its chemical structure allows for various functional group modifications, making it a versatile compound in synthetic organic chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
