indol3ethanesulfonic
Indol-3-ethanesulfonic acid (IES) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C11H13NO5S. It is a derivative of indole, a bicyclic aromatic organic compound, and is commonly used in biochemical and agricultural research. IES is notable for its role as a plant growth regulator, particularly in promoting root growth and improving nutrient uptake in plants.
The compound was first synthesized in the early 20th century and has since been studied for its
In biochemical applications, IES is sometimes employed as a precursor in the synthesis of other indole-based
IES is typically available as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is stable under normal storage
