Indole-3-carboxaldehyde is a biochemical used to prepare analogs of the indole phytoalexin cyclobrassinin with NR1R2 group. It was also used as the starting material for the synthesis of higher order indoles including isoindolo[2,1-a]indoles, aplysinopsins, and 4-substituted-tetrahydrobenz[cd]indoles.
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. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
