Applications & Uses
Uses
4-Hydroxyindole is a Pindolol (P468000) impurity, which is a mixed adrenergic blocker and serotonin 5HT1A-receptor antagonist.
General Description
Glucouridination of 4-hydroxyindole by human uridine 5′-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase has been repotrted.
Preparation & Synthesis
Preparation
Synthesis of 4-hydroxyindole: Using resorcinol as raw material, 4-oxotetrahydrocoumarone carboxylic acid is prepared by isomerization, catalytic hydrogenation, and cyclization with ethyl bromopyruvate. It was added to methanol solution saturated with ammonia, and the reaction was heated in an autoclave to generate 4-oxotetrahydroindole. Finally, 4-hydroxyindole is obtained by dehydrogenation and isomerization.
