Description

Description

Indole is used in the preparation of gramine, which is obtained by Mannich reaction dimethylamine and formaldehyde. It is used as a starting material for the preparation of oxindole and indole-3-carboxaldehyde. In Diels-Alder reaction, it acts as dienophile and reacts with 2-aminofuran to get strychnine. It is the active component of jasmine oil, neroli oil and orange-blossom oil used in the perfume industry. Further, it is involved in the preparation of synthetic jasmine oil.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
