Identification
Common Name2-Indolecarboxylic acid
ClassSmall Molecule
Description2-Indolecarboxylic acid, also known as indol-2-carboxylate or 2-carboxyindole, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as indolecarboxylic acids and derivatives. Indolecarboxylic acids and derivatives are compounds containing a carboxylic acid group (or a derivative thereof) linked to an indole. 2-Indolecarboxylic acid is possibly soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa).
