About 6-Methoxy-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde

6-Methoxy-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde (CAS Number: 70555-46-3) is an aldehyde with a highly electrophilic carbonyl group featuring a Indole ring. 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.

The aldehyde carbonyl is one of the most reactive electrophilic centers in organic chemistry, enabling diverse transformations from imine formation to asymmetric allylation. Heterocyclic rings appear in approximately 85% of all biologically active compounds. The nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur heteroatom modulates electron density, hydrogen bonding, and aqueous solubility.

Primary applications include reductive amination for c–n bond formation in api synthesis and core scaffold in kinase inhibitor design for oncology therapeutics. This compound serves researchers and manufacturers across the pharmaceutical, fragrance & flavor, fine chemical sectors. Whether you require 6-Methoxy-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde 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.

Storage & Handling for Aldehydes

Handling Guidelines

Aldehydes can be irritating to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Handle in a well-ventilated fume hood. Many are volatile and flammable. Handle with standard laboratory precautions. Some heterocycles may be hygroscopic or irritating. Use adequate ventilation.

Storage Conditions

Store at recommended temperature under inert atmosphere. Protect from air to prevent oxidation to the corresponding carboxylic acid. Store at recommended temperature in a tightly sealed container. Some heterocyclic compounds are light-sensitive.
