1-Methylindole-2-carboxylic acid

Chemical Properties

Beige crystalline powder

Uses

• Reactant for preparation of keto-indoles as novel indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitors
• Reactant for synthesis of fenbufen and ethacrynic acid derivatives as potential antitumor agents via amide coupling reactions
• Reactant for diastereoselective synthesis of vinylated heterocycles via ruthenium-catalyzed oxidative vinylation with alkenes
• Reactant for synthesis of 2,3-dihalo indoles via hypervalent iodine mediated decarboxylative halogenation
• Reactant for preparation of α-ketoamides as cathepsin S inhibitors with potential applications against tumor invasion and angiogenesis
• Reactant for preparation of anthranilic acid mimics as bacterial translation inhibitors
