Coordination chemistry ligand
Serves as a building block in coordination chemistry, forming complexes with platinum and palladium ions. The combination of carboxylate and amide functionality supports metal binding for structural and reactivity studies.
Heterocyclic building block
The intact indole nucleus makes it a useful heterocyclic building block for chemical synthesis. It can be incorporated into more elaborate indole-bearing structures during multi-step preparations.
Auxin conjugate reference compound
As the amide conjugate of indole-3-acetic acid with aspartic acid, it belongs to the family of auxin amino-acid conjugates studied in plant biochemistry. It may be used as a reference material for related investigative work.
Laboratory research reagent
Offered at 98% assay for analytical, synthetic and academic research applications. Suitable as a defined reference substance where a characterised indole aspartic-acid derivative is required.
