Description
4-Benzyloxyindole is a reactant in a variety of preparation procedures.  It is used in the synthesis of 4-aryl-4H-chromenes as an inducer of apoptosis, in the synthesis of indol-3-yl tetramethylcyclopropyl ketones as a CB2 cannabinoid receptor ligand, and in the synthesis of hepatitis C inhibitors.  Additionally, 4-Benzyloxyindole is used to prepare carbon-11-labeled-4-aryl-4H-chromenes as PET agents in cancer studies, to  prepare indoles through Bartoli reductive cyclization, and to synthesize oxopyrrolidine analogs in iodine-catalyzed Markovnikov additions.
