7-Bromoindole(CAT: L047596) is a halogenated indole derivative featuring a bromine atom at the 7-position of the indole ring. This compound serves as a valuable synthetic intermediate in medicinal and organic chemistry, enabling functionalization through cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki, Stille, or Heck processes. Its indole core—common in many natural products and bioactive molecules—makes it particularly useful for developing pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fluorescent probes. The bromine substituent offers regioselective reactivity, allowing precise molecular modifications. 7-Bromoindole is frequently employed in the synthesis of kinase inhibitors, CNS-active agents, and heterocyclic scaffolds for drug discovery and chemical biology research.
