CAS 35320-67-3

Hydroxymethylindole; 98%

Description:

Hydroxymethylindole, with the CAS number 35320-67-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of an indole structure with a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the hydroxymethyl group that enhances its hydrophilicity. Hydroxymethylindole is often used in biochemical research and synthesis due to its potential applications in pharmaceuticals and as a building block in organic synthesis. The compound may exhibit various biological activities, including antioxidant properties, and can serve as a precursor for the synthesis of more complex indole derivatives. It is important to handle this substance with care, following appropriate safety protocols, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled. As with many chemical substances, purity levels, such as the mentioned 98%, indicate the concentration of the active compound, which is crucial for its effectiveness in research and industrial applications.

4-Hydroxy-2-methylindole

CAS: 35320-67-3

4-Hydroxy-2-methylindole is an organic compound that belongs to the class of metal salts. It can be obtained as a white solid by reacting indole with alkali metal hydroxide or alkali metal carbonate in the presence of water at high temperatures. The reaction yields 4-hydroxy-2-methylindole and hydrogen chloride gas, which are removed by distillation. 4-Hydroxy-2-methylindole is used in the production of epichlorohydrin, which is a raw material for polyurethane resins and olefins.
