Description

3-Methyl-1H-indole-2-carboxyaldehyde (3MICA) is a reactive compound that can be used as an intermediate for the synthesis of other compounds. 3MICA has the potential to form two products: the imine and anion. The reaction product depends on the pH, temperature, and concentration of 3MICA. Kinetic studies have shown that at higher concentrations and lower pH, the formation of imine is favored over anion. When imine is formed, it can react with hydrogen peroxide to form a peroxide (ROOH). When anion is formed, it can react with another molecule of 3MICA to form a methylene. The detection limit for 3MICA is 0.5 ppm.br>br>

3-Methyl-1H-indole-2-carboxyaldehyde has been found in three natural sources: chili peppers, citrus peels and grapefruit peels.
