Application

2,3-Dimethylindole has been used to study the mechanism of oxidation of 2,3-dimethylindole by peroxodisulphate and peroxomonosulphate anions to 2-methylindole-2-carbaldehyde. It has been used to study the behaviour of methylindoles in the agilent multimode ion source by atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry.
Reactant for preparation of:
  • Bis(indolyl)methane derivatives
  • Potent opioid receptor agonists
  • Photorefractive materials
  • Prodrugs of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor Alsterpaullone
  • Dopamine receptors 2/4 (D2/D4) antagonists
  • Useful azaspirocyclic building blocks

Reactant for:
  • Baylis-Hillman reactions
  • Photosensitized Diels-Alder reactions
  • Photoinduced electron transfer reactions

The quenching of anthracene fluorescence by indole, 1,2-dimethylindole (DMI), tryptophan (Trp) and indole 3-acetic acid (IAA) in palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine (POPC) lipid bilayers was investigated. A very efficient quenching of the anthracene fluorescence in the lipid membrane is observed. Stern-Volmer plots are
