In the Castro synthesis, this compound is produced by the reaction of 1-amino-2-iodobenzene with acetylene.
In the Castro synthesis, this compound is produced by the reaction of 1-amino-2-iodobenzene with acetylene. A test named for this compound uses Kovac's reagent to differentiate among members of Enterobacteriaceae, and measures the ability of bacteria to metabolize a certain amino acid. In another synthesis of this compound, ammonia is eliminated from an aminoacetal to yield this compound, which is isoelectronic with naphthalene. In that reaction, phenylhydrazine and a carbonyl react to produce a version of this compound substituted at the 2 and 3 positions on its smaller ring, and that reaction is named for Fischer. It is a heterobicyclic aromatic compound consisting of a pyrrole ring fused to a benzene ring, and is found in the side chain of tryptophan. For 10 points, name this substance, which, when substituted at the 3 position by acetic acid, is a common auxin.
