4-Benzyloxyindole

Off-White Crystalline Solid with Few Darker (Brown) Particles

4-Benzyloxyindole was used in the synthesis of 4-alkyloxy-aminoalkyl indole derivatives.

Indole derivative as substrate-binding; N297Q and I300V mutants of cytochrome P 450 2A6 display expansion of substrate specificity of cytochrome P 450 2A6 to oxidize substituted indoles

4-Benzyloxyindole was used in the synthesis of 4-alkyloxy-aminoalkyl indole derivatives.
