5-Methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (CAS: 1006-48-6) is a specialized heterocyclic intermediate with molecular formula C11H9NO3. It is primarily synthesized via Vilsmeier-Haack formylation followed by oxidation of 5-methoxyindole, serving as a key scaffold for pharmaceutical development.
Store under inert atmosphere at temperatures below -20°C to prevent hydrolysis. Personnel must utilize appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves and respirators due to potential respiratory irritation and skin sensitization during handling.
