5-Bromo-2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indole

Enhance your chemical synthesis, dye research, and pharmaceutical development with 5-Bromo-2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indole (CAS No.: 54136-24-2, CAT No.: SRCB-029), a high-purity indole derivative characterized by a bromine atom at the 5-position and three methyl groups enhancing its lipophilicity and reactivity. This compound’s modified indole scaffold is a versatile precursor for advanced organic synthesis, fluorescent dye intermediates (notably for cyanine dyes), and specialized heterocyclic frameworks in medicinal chemistry.

With a molecular formula of C₁₁H₁₂BrN and a molecular weight of 238.12 g/mol, it is typically a pale yellow to white crystalline powder, known for good stability under standard storage and high chemical reactivity due to the indole and bromine functionalities. Its high purity (≥98%) and ready solubility in common organic solvents (such as dichloromethane, chloroform, and ethanol) supports its use in a broad array of synthetic, analytical, and research applications.
