Overview of Indole

Indole is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound with widespread fragrances, pharmaceuticals, and biochemistry applications. Indole naturally occurs in essential oils, coal tar, and in the extracts of plants. Indole is known for its floral, musky smell and is integral to perfume preparations, flavourings, and medicines.

Applications of Indole

Fragrance and perfumery: Used in high-end perfumes and scented products for its musky aroma.
Pharmaceuticals and research: A key intermediate in synthesising various drugs and bioactive compounds.
