:1H-Indole-1-carboxylic acid, methyl ester
Description:
1H-Indole-1-carboxylic acid, methyl ester, also known by its CAS number 39203-20-8, is an organic compound characterized by its indole structure, which consists of a fused benzene and pyrrole ring. This compound features a carboxylic acid functional group that is esterified with a methyl group, making it a methyl ester derivative. It typically appears as a white to off-white solid or crystalline substance. The presence of the indole moiety contributes to its aromatic properties and potential biological activity, as indole derivatives are known for their roles in various biochemical processes. The compound is soluble in organic solvents, such as ethanol and dichloromethane, but may have limited solubility in water. Its chemical properties include the ability to undergo typical reactions associated with esters, such as hydrolysis and transesterification. 1H-Indole-1-carboxylic acid, methyl ester is of interest in medicinal chemistry and may serve as a precursor for the synthesis of more complex indole-based compounds with potential pharmaceutical applications.
