Definition
ChEBI: Methyl indole-3-carboxylate is the methyl ester of indole-3-carboxylic acid. It has a role as a metabolite. It is a member of indoles and a methyl ester. It is functionally related to an indole-3-carboxylic acid.
General Description
Methyl indole-3-carboxylate (3-Methoxycarbonylindole, 3-Carbomethoxyindole, Methyl indolyl-3-carboxylate) has been extracted from the marine Streptomyces sp. 060524. Its crystal structure indicates the presence of inter-molecular N-H…O hydrogen bond. It is also obtained during the isolation of sorazinones A and B from Sorangium cellulosum strain Soce895. It undergoes regioselective dibromination with bromine in acetic acid to afford methyl 5,6-dibromoindole-3-carboxylate.
