1-Ethyl-1H-indole-2-carboxaldehyde

Description:
1-Ethyl-1H-indole-2-carboxaldehyde 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 features an ethyl group at the nitrogen position and an aldehyde functional group at the 2-position of the indole ring. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. The presence of the aldehyde group makes it reactive, particularly in condensation reactions and as a potential electrophile in various organic syntheses. Its solubility is generally higher in organic solvents than in water, reflecting its hydrophobic nature due to the indole moiety. 1-Ethyl-1H-indole-2-carboxaldehyde may be used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals, owing to the versatile reactivity of both the indole and aldehyde functionalities. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with many organic compounds, it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
