About 7-Bromoindole-3-carboxylic acid

7-Bromoindole-3-carboxylic acid (CAS Number: 86153-25-5) is a bromo-substituted intermediate prized for its reactivity in metal-catalyzed coupling 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.

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. 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. Carboxylic acids are among the most synthetically versatile functional groups — they can be converted to amides, esters, acid chlorides, anhydrides, alcohols, and aldehydes in a single step.

Primary applications include grignard reagent preparation via magnesium insertion into c–br bond and core scaffold in kinase inhibitor design for oncology therapeutics. This compound serves researchers and manufacturers across the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, agrochemical sectors. Whether you require 7-Bromoindole-3-carboxylic acid 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.
