1H-Indole,1-(difluoromethyl)-

Description:

1H-Indole, 1-(difluoromethyl)- is an organic compound characterized by its indole structure, which consists of a fused benzene and pyrrole ring. The presence of a difluoromethyl group at the 1-position of the indole ring introduces unique chemical properties, including increased lipophilicity and potential reactivity due to the electronegative fluorine atoms. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its physical state at room temperature. It may exhibit moderate to high stability under standard conditions but can be sensitive to moisture and light. The difluoromethyl group can influence the compound's biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and drug development. Additionally, 1H-Indole derivatives are known for their diverse applications, including in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as fluorinated compounds can pose specific health and environmental risks.
