Description and Uses

3-(3-Indolyl)-2-oxopropanoic acid is an important organic compound and an important precursor for the preparation of tryptophan. Tryptophan and D-tryptophan, and DL-tryptophan can also be synthesized by amination hydrogenation. In addition, 3-(3-Indolyl)-2-oxopropanoic acid is an intermediate in the conversion of tryptophan to indoleacetic acid in plants. Indoleacetic acid is an important growth hormone in plants and also plays an important role in regulating plant growth.

Indole-3-pyruvic acid can be used:

• As a precursor for the synthesis of chromopyrrolic acid by a heme-containing enzyme.
• As a reactant in the Biginelli-like scaffold syntheses.
