Description

Indole-2-carboxylic acid (CAS No. 40615-36-9) is a high-purity heterocyclic organic compound with the molecular formula C₉H₇NO₂. This white to off-white crystalline powder is a key intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules. With an IUPAC name of 1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid, it features a carboxyl group at the 2-position of the indole ring, making it valuable for metal coordination chemistry and as a building block for more complex structures. Our product is rigorously tested to ensure ??98% purity (HPLC) and is supplied in sealed packaging under inert gas to prevent degradation. Ideal for research in medicinal chemistry, this compound is soluble in organic solvents like DMSO and ethanol but has limited water solubility. Storage at 2-8??C in a dry environment is recommended for long-term stability.

Application

Indole-2-carboxylic acid serves as a versatile precursor in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly those targeting neurological and inflammatory pathways. Researchers utilize this compound to develop novel indole-based inhibitors for enzyme studies and drug discovery projects. Its carboxyl functionality allows for easy derivatization into amides, esters, and other pharmacologically active structures. The compound has shown potential in coordination chemistry as a ligand for transition metal catalysts.
