Description

1-Trimethylsilyl-1H-Indole-3-Butyric Acid Trimethylsilyl Ester is a specialized organosilicon derivative of indole-3-butyric acid, a key plant growth hormone. This compound is engineered to offer enhanced stability and lipophilicity, making it a crucial synthetic intermediate and a protected form for advanced research applications. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the agrochemical and pharmaceutical sectors for developing novel plant growth regulators and bioactive molecules.

Application

• Agrochemical Intermediate: A key protected precursor in the synthesis of novel, more stable analogs of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) for plant growth regulation research.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a building block for the development of indole-based compounds with potential biological activity.
• Chemical Synthesis: Used in organic synthesis where the trimethylsilyl (TMS) groups act as protective groups for the carboxylic acid and indole nitrogen, allowing for selective reactions.
• Biochemistry Studies: Employed in studies investigating the metabolism and mode of action of auxin-type plant hormones.
• Material Science: Potential precursor for creating silicon-containing hybrid materials or for surface modification studies.

Quality Control

Our 1-Trimethylsilyl-1H-Indole-3-Butyric Acid Trimethylsilyl Ester is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC and NMR, to ensure high chemical purity and identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your research and quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
