General description
Ethyl 5-methylindole-2-carboxylate (5-Methylindole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester) is an indole derivative. Indole ring system is an important building block or intermediate in the synthesis of many pharmaceutical agents. It is formed during the Fischer indolization of ethyl pyruvate 2-[2-(methanesulfonyloxy)-4-methyl]phenylhydrazine.
Application
