CAS 117637-79-3: 1H-Indole-2-carboxylic acid, 3-iodo-, ethyl ester

Ethyl 3-iodo-1H-indole-2-carboxylate is a chemical compound that can be used as a building block in organic synthesis. It can be produced by the bromination of 2-bromobenzoic acid and subsequent coupling with ammonium acetate. The resulting product can then be converted to isoquinolines, β-carbolines, or indole-2-carboxylic acid. The use of ethyl 3-iodo-1H-indole-2-carboxylate for the production of alkaloids such as harmane and isoquinolines has been extensively researched.
