Biological activity | 4-Hydroxyindole is a type of hydroxy indole, and the 1H-indole at the 4 position is replaced by a hydroxyl group. 4-Hydroxyindole is an important raw material or intermediate for the synthesis of pharmaceutical products and industrial polymers. |
Use | Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Used as a pharmaceutical intermediate |
Production method | Using resorcinol as raw material, after isomerization, catalytic hydrogenation, and then cyclizing with ethyl bromopyruvate to obtain 4-oxotetrahydrocumarone carboxylic acid. Add it to an ammonia-saturated methanol solution and heat it in an autoclave to generate 4-oxotetrahydroindole. Finally, 4-hydroxyindole was prepared by dehydrogenation and isomerization. |
