Hi All, i'm new in here - just one question that keeps me going for weeks now - what is indole-3-carboxaldehyd (indole-3-carbaldehyd,
indole-3-aldehyd) used for??? I mean in "real life", not for any drug synth or something like that!
I'm searching and searching and all i can find is "for analysis" ...
Thanks for any hint!

It's used as some sort of agricultural chemical I think, I just came across it on google, I searched for 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid and there
was a chinese supplier offering it in one kilo batches. Hope this helps.

As i found completely nothing yet while searching myself it helps indeed. It's at least a new starting point for researching. Thanks a lot!
It confuses me that it is mentioned very often but never for what it's used - pretty mysterious ... downright suspicious

The indole structure is the central backbone for tryptamines, which would probably be the reason why it is suspicious, check on the hive and UTFSE it,
I wouldn't be at all surprised if there is something on the topic
Also, be careful about ordering any, if it is even legal in your country for this very reason

Indoleacetic acid and indolebutyric acid are used as plant growth stimulants.
Indole 3-carboxaldehyde is a direct precursor to DMT, DET and other hallucinogens, so it is probably not the safest thing in the world to purchase...
