Introduction | 5-benzyloxyindole can be used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis. It can be prepared by four-step reaction from m-cresol. 5-benzyloxy indole can be used to prepare (L)-5-hydroxytryptophan. 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a pure natural herbal prescription with a calming effect. It is a precursor of a hormone called serotonin in the human body. It can help people produce this hormone in the body and achieve balance in their bodies. |
Application | 5-benzyloxyindole is an indole organic compound, which can be used for regional and stereoselective morpholine catalysis; under mild reaction conditions, under the silicic acid-palladium catalytic system, it is used to protect the group's selective debenzylation reagent; it is used for metal-free Friedel-Crafts alkylation reagent; reagents for the preparation of protein kinase (PKC) inhibitors; Reagents for the preparation of indole/quinoline thiohydroxylamide derivatives. |
