9Hpyrido34bindole

9Hpyrido34bindole, also known by its Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry number 162692-55-5, is an organic chemical compound belonging to the pyrido[3,4-b]indole structural class. This class of compounds features a fused ring system consisting of a pyridine ring and an indole ring. The specific "9H" designation indicates that the hydrogen atom is attached to the nitrogen atom at the 9th position of the indole moiety.

The molecular formula of 9Hpyrido34bindole is C11H8N2. Its structure is characterized by the fusion of a six-membered pyridine ring with a five-membered pyrrole ring, which itself is fused to a benzene ring, forming the indole system. The pyridine ring is attached to the 3 and 4 positions of the indole core. This arrangement results in a planar, aromatic molecule.

Compounds within the pyrido[3,4-b]indole family, also referred to as beta-carbolines, are found in nature and have been synthesized for various research purposes. They are known to exhibit a range of biological activities, and derivatives of this core structure have been investigated for their potential pharmacological properties. The specific properties and applications of 9Hpyrido34bindole itself are subject to ongoing scientific research and may be detailed in specialized chemical and scientific literature. Its synthesis and chemical behavior are governed by the principles of organic chemistry, particularly those related to heterocyclic aromatic compounds.
