3-Formylindole-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester - Introduction

Methyl is an organic compound with the chemical formula C12H9NO3.

Nature:
-Appearance: Colorless or pale yellow crystalline solid.
-Melting point: about 132-135°C.
-Stability: Stable at room temperature.

Use:
- Methyl is an important organic synthesis intermediate, which can be used to synthesize indole compounds.
-It has potential anti-tumor and antibacterial activities in the pharmaceutical field, so it may be used in drug research and development.

Preparation Method:
Methyl can be synthesized by the following steps:
1.3-indole -4-carboxylic acid methyl ester reacts with acetic anhydride under alkaline conditions to generate 3-methyl formate -1H-indole -4-carboxylic acid methyl ester.
2. The above intermediate is oxidized with PCC (phosphorus pentachloride) in an appropriate solvent to obtain Methyl.

Safety Information:
- Methyl may cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory system. Wear protective glasses and gloves when in contact.
-Avoid inhaling its dust or vapor, and operate in a well-ventilated place.
-should be sealed when stored, away from fire and oxidant.
-When using or handling the substance, please follow the relevant safe handling and disposal regulations.
