indol3ethylsulfonic

Indol-3-yl-ethane sulfonic acid, often abbreviated as indol3ethylsulfonic or I3ES, is an organic compound that is a derivative of indole. Indole itself is a bicyclic aromatic organic compound with a chemical formula of C8H7N. I3ES is formed by attaching a sulfonic acid group to an ethyl chain, which is then linked to the indole ring at the 3-position. Its chemical formula is C10H11NO3S.

The biological significance and natural occurrence of indol3ethylsulfonic are not extensively documented in mainstream scientific literature. While indole derivatives are common in biological systems, particularly as components of amino acids like tryptophan and in signaling molecules, the specific role or presence of I3ES in these contexts is less clear. Research into this compound may be limited, or it might be a less studied metabolic intermediate or byproduct. Its properties would be expected to include the characteristic reactivity of the indole ring and the acidic nature of the sulfonic acid group. Further investigation would be needed to fully understand its chemical behavior and any potential biological functions.
