Molecule Identification

Common Name

methyl indole-3-acetate

Definition

Indole-3-methyl acetate, also known as indole-3-acetic acid, methyl ester or methyl 3-indolylacetate, belongs to indole-3-acetic acid derivatives class of compounds. Those are compounds containing an acetic acid (or a derivative) linked to the C3 carbon atom of an indole. Indole-3-methyl acetate is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Indole-3-methyl acetate can be found in a number of food items such as corn, hyacinth bean, sweet orange, and sour cherry, which makes indole-3-methyl acetate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Indole-3-methyl acetate can be found primarily in feces.
