1-Butyl-1H-indole is an organic compound characterized by its indole structure, which consists of a fused benzene and pyrrole ring. The "1-butyl" designation indicates that a butyl group is attached to the nitrogen atom of the indole ring, influencing its solubility and reactivity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic butyl group. 1-Butyl-1H-indole is of interest in various fields, including organic synthesis and materials science, due to its potential applications in pharmaceuticals and as a building block for more complex molecules. Its chemical properties include the ability to participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, making it a versatile intermediate in synthetic chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.

N-Butylindole is a chemical compound that binds to the cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2. It has been shown to bind with high affinity to the CB1 receptor, but not the CB2 receptor. N-Butylindole has also been shown to induce membrane depolarization by binding to the cb1 receptor. The electrospray ionization mass spectrum of n-butylindole shows peaks at m/z 209, 213, and 215. These peaks correspond to alkylation of the compound with chlorine. The chemical structure of n-butylindole is 2-(4'-methylphenyl)-1-(4'-pentyl) indole (C20H26N2). N-Butylindole can be synthesized from 2,3-dibromopentane using a reaction mechanism that involves chlorination followed by hydrolysis and decarboxylation.
