Description
5-Hydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester is an indole-derived carboxylic ester with CAS number 24985-85-1 and the empirical formula C₁₁H₁₁NO₃. The compound has a molar mass of 205,21 g/mol. Its defined molecular identity makes it suitable as a building block or reference material in organic and biochemical synthesis involving substituted indoles and related heterocyclic scaffolds. Researchers can employ the ester functionality and the 5-hydroxy substitution pattern in exploratory chemistry, intermediate preparation and structure–activity studies where clear CAS and formula data are essential. The compact pack size supports economical trial reactions, analytical method setup and small-scale screening without excess inventory. Product data from manufacturer Carl ROTH present the core chemical parameters in a form that integrates readily into laboratory documentation and ordering systems. Consistent molar mass and structural information help ensure reproducible weighing, stoichiometry and reporting across successive experimental series in chemical and life-science laboratories.

Questions about 5-Hydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl, ester, 500 mg
What is this article?
5-Hydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl, ester, 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 Life Science & Microbiology.
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.
