methyl 4-{[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]amino}-4-oxobutanoate

Description:

Methyl 4-{[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]amino}-4-oxobutanoate, with the CAS number 92870-51-4, is a chemical compound characterized by its complex structure that includes an indole moiety, an amino group, and a butanoate ester. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both its indole and ester functionalities, such as potential biological activity and solubility in organic solvents. The presence of the indole ring suggests possible interactions with biological systems, as indole derivatives are known for their roles in pharmaceuticals and natural products. The butanoate portion contributes to the compound's ester characteristics, which may influence its reactivity and stability. Additionally, the methyl group enhances its lipophilicity, potentially affecting its absorption and distribution in biological contexts. Overall, this compound may be of interest in medicinal chemistry and drug development, particularly for its potential therapeutic applications. However, specific properties such as melting point, boiling point, and solubility would require empirical data for precise characterization.
