Description
5-Chloroindole-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester is a chlorinated indole carboxylate ester for chemical and biochemical laboratory use. It is registered under CAS number 87802-11-7 with empirical formula C₁₀H₈ClNO₂ and a molar mass of 209,63 g/mol. The boiling point is reported as 365,5 °C, reflecting a relatively high-boiling heterocyclic solid or melt under standard conditions. The methyl ester motif at the 2-position offers a convenient handle for hydrolysis, amidation, or further functional-group interconversion in medicinal and organic chemistry programmes. This material from manufacturer Carl ROTH fits workflows that require a defined chloroindole building block with documented identity and molar mass. Laboratories can integrate it into heterocycle libraries, coupling sequences, or derivative preparation while relying on the stated CAS designation and molecular formula for documentation and quality systems. size balances bench-scale needs with efficient inventory management for research groups working on indole-based scaffolds.

Questions about 5-Chloroindole-2-carboxylic acid methyl, ester, 5 g
What is this article?
5-Chloroindole-2-carboxylic acid methyl, ester, 5 g 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.
