Description :
Indole-3-acetamide is a white to light beige crystalline solid belonging to the indole and amide family of organic compounds. It is widely recognised as an essential plant hormone intermediate and biochemical reagent. Indole-3-acetamide plays a key role in the biosynthesis of indole-3-acetic acid — a major auxin responsible for plant growth regulation. Thanks to its stability in chemical terms, purity, as well as its versatility, Indole-3 acetamide can be found in biotechnology, agriculture and the research sector. It dissolves readily in organic solvents like alcohol and methanol. This allows easy integration into biological research as well as chemical synthesis and formulation design. Complementary compounds like Phytol and Dihydrojasmone are often used in related biochemical and agricultural applications for enhanced formulation performance. It is available in bulk and laboratory-grade quantities — contact us to get the best price for your order.
