CAS 887360-34-1: methyl 6-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxylate
Description:Methyl 6-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxylate is a chemical compound characterized by its indole structure, which is a bicyclic compound consisting of a benzene ring fused to a pyrrole ring. The presence of a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) at the 6-position of the indole enhances its lipophilicity and can influence its biological activity. The carboxylate group at the 2-position, esterified with a methyl group, contributes to its reactivity and solubility in organic solvents. This compound is typically used in medicinal chemistry and research due to its potential pharmacological properties. It may exhibit various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory or anticancer effects, making it of interest in drug development. The trifluoromethyl group is known to modulate the electronic properties of the molecule, potentially affecting its interaction with biological targets. As with many indole derivatives, the compound's characteristics, such as stability and reactivity, can be influenced by the substituents on the indole ring, making it a versatile scaffold in synthetic organic chemistry.
