CAS Number: 17422-32-1
5-Chloroindole is a halogenated indole derivative used as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of cosmetic actives, pharmaceutical compounds, and fragrance components. The indole scaffold is fundamental in the construction of tryptophan analogs, anti-aging peptides, and specialty UV absorbers. Its chlorine substituent at the 5-position enables selective functionalization for producing high-value cosmetic and pharmaceutical intermediates. AB Enterprises supplies high-purity 5-Chloroindole for research and synthesis applications.
