Description
1-Benzyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid is an N-benzylated indole carboxylic acid reagent for synthetic and biochemical applications, registered under CAS number 17017-71-9. The empirical formula C₁₆H₁₃NO₂ and molar mass of 251,28 g/mol define this aromatic heterocycle, which combines an indole core with a reactive 2-carboxyl group and a benzyl substituent on nitrogen. Such structures are frequently employed as intermediates in the preparation of indole-based scaffolds, amide couplings, and further ring functionalization. This material from manufacturer Carl ROTH fits laboratories focused on heterocyclic chemistry, medicinal chemistry building blocks, and biochemical probe synthesis. Documented CAS, formula, and molar-mass data support accurate stoichiometry, catalogue matching, and quality systems. Use under standard organic-laboratory conditions and store and handle in line with good laboratory practice for solid carboxylic acids.

Questions about 1-Benzyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid, 500 mg
What is this article?
1-Benzyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid, 500 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), inside Culture media & microbiology, in Microbiology lab supplies.
A dehydrated medium is a powder the laboratory dissolves, sterilises and pours. The formulation name, the supplements it still needs, and the grams per litre are the specification. Two powders with similar names, one selective and one not, grow different organisms.
A culture medium is the food and the solid or liquid home of a microorganism. Dehydrated media are powders the laboratory dissolves and sterilises. Ready-to-use plates and tubes are already that. A Petri dish is the plate. Selective media let one kind of organism grow and hold another back. The formulation and the supplements, not the colour of the agar, are the specification. Reference strains are at ATCC. Methods are on PubMed. Biosafety practice is the WHO laboratory biosafety topic.
