1-(6-Methoxy-1H-indol-2-yl)ethanone

Description:

1-(6-Methoxy-1H-indol-2-yl)ethanone, with the CAS number 888723-88-4, 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 specific compound features a methoxy group (-OCH3) at the 6-position of the indole ring and an ethanone functional group (ketone) at the 1-position. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its solubility in organic solvents and may influence its biological activity. The compound is likely to exhibit properties typical of indole derivatives, such as potential pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, or anticancer activities, although specific biological data would depend on empirical studies. Its molecular structure suggests it may participate in various chemical reactions, including electrophilic substitutions and nucleophilic attacks, making it of interest in synthetic organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry. As with many indole derivatives, it may also exhibit fluorescence, which can be useful in various analytical applications.
