About 2-(7-Bromo-1H-indol-3-yl)ethanamine hydrochloride

2-(7-Bromo-1H-indol-3-yl)ethanamine hydrochloride (CAS Number: 156941-60-5) is a bromo-substituted intermediate prized for its reactivity in metal-catalyzed coupling featuring a Indole ring with defined stereochemistry. ChemContract Research supplies this moderate-complexity compound in high purity from our Huntington Beach, California facility, ensuring consistent quality and reliable domestic delivery throughout the United States. Supplied as the hydrochloride salt form for enhanced stability and handling.

Aryl and alkyl bromides occupy a "Goldilocks zone" in cross-coupling — more reactive than chlorides yet more stable than iodides — making them the most commonly used coupling partners in process chemistry. Hydrochloride is the most common salt form for basic drug substances — approximately half of all salt-form drugs on the market are HCl salts, valued for their crystallinity and aqueous solubility. Chirality matters profoundly in drug action — enantiomers can differ by orders of magnitude in potency, and FDA guidelines increasingly require single-enantiomer development.

Primary applications include grignard reagent preparation via magnesium insertion into c–br bond and improved handling characteristics versus the free base form. This compound serves researchers and manufacturers across the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, agrochemical sectors. Whether you require 2-(7-Bromo-1H-indol-3-yl)ethanamine hydrochloride for early-stage research, process development, or commercial-scale production, ChemContract Research offers flexible ordering from milligram to multi-kilogram quantities with custom synthesis options and full batch documentation including Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheets.
