General description

Reaction of 1-methyl-2-phenylindole with nitrogen dioxide or with nitrous acid (NaNO2-CH3COOH) in benzene has been studied. 1-Methyl-2-phenylindole is reported to react with malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxyalkenals to afford a stable chromophore with intense maximal absorbance at 586nm.

Application

1-Methyl-2-phenylindole may be used in the following studies:
  • The estimation of lipid peroxidation in third instar larvae of transgenic Drosophila melanogaster (hsp70-lacZ)Bg.
  • As chromogenic agent for the determination of estimation of malondialdehyde (MDA) production.
  • Colorimetric assay of lipid peroxidation.
  • Synthesis of 1-methyl-2-phenyl-3-(1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yldiazenyl)-1H-indole.
  • Synthesis of 3-(5-ethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yldiazenyl)-1-methyl-2-phenyl-1H-indole.
Reactant for preparation of:
  • Cyano indoles
  • Difluorohydroxy indoles

Reactant for:
  • Carboxylation of indoles
  • Allylation of indoles
  • Formylation of indoles
  • Nitrosylation of indoles
