Indole-3-acetaldehyde

Description:
Indole-3-acetaldehyde is an organic compound characterized by its indole structure, which consists of a fused benzene and pyrrole ring, with an aldehyde functional group attached to the 3-position of the indole. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water. Indole-3-acetaldehyde is known for its role in various biological processes, particularly in plant physiology, where it is involved in the biosynthesis of auxins, which are crucial for plant growth and development. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential applications in the fragrance industry and as a precursor in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. The compound is relatively stable under standard conditions but should be handled with care due to its reactivity as an aldehyde. Safety precautions are necessary, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes upon contact.
