Description
Indole-2-carboxylic acid is an indole-based carboxylic acid reagent supplied at a minimum purity of 95 %, identified by CAS number 1477-50-5 and the empirical formula C₉H₇NO₂. It has a molar mass of 161,16 g/mol and a boiling point of 419,6 °C, providing a well-characterised solid for synthetic and biochemical work. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, this grade is suitable for coupling reactions, amide and ester formation, and further elaboration of the indole core in pharmaceutical and fine-chemical research. Clear identity data and stated purity support reproducible method development and scale-up from bench protocols. Laboratories engaged in natural-product analogues, kinase-ligand scaffolds or other nitrogen-heterocycle programmes can integrate the material into multi-step sequences with confidence in the starting composition. balances routine use with sufficient reserve for iterative optimisation.

Questions about Indole-2-carboxylic acid, min. 95 %, 250 g
What is this article?
Indole-2-carboxylic acid, min. 95 %, 250 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Acids, inside Acids & bases, in Lab chemicals.
An acid on this shelf is the substance itself, concentrated or as a stated solution: hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, acetic and the rest. Concentration, purity and the trace metals decide the use. A concentrated acid and a volumetric solution of the same name are different products, and both burn.
An acid donates a proton. A base accepts one. In the bottle, the practical differences are the concentration, the purity and the anion or cation that comes along. Concentrated mineral acids are a different article from a dilute volumetric solution. The water in the acid, and the trace metals, decide whether it can be used for analysis. Check the substance on PubChem and the classification on ECHA CLP. Transport is the UNECE dangerous-goods framework. The legal texts are the CLP Regulation and REACH.
