Application

4-Indolyl acetate has been employed as standard in a protocol for the optimization of gradient reversed phase chromatographic peak capacity for separation of small molecules.
Reactant for preparation of:
  • Inhibitors of HIV-1 attachment
  • Prostanoid EP3 receptor antagonist, as a novel antiplatelet agent
  • Indolyl-nitroalkanes via N-bromosuccinimide catalyzed synthesis
  • Psilocybin as a medicinal agent
