3-Indolepropionic acid (CAS:830-96-6) is an important natural products , which is widely used in various of  chemical fields.

1. Store 3-Indolepropionic acid inside light-proof sealed containers below 25 °C in dry ventilated space to slow down oxidative degradation of the indole aromatic ring.
2. Reduce frequent opening of the package to prevent moisture absorption and yellow discoloration induced by long-term exposure to air oxygen.
3. Isolate this material from strong oxidants and concentrated strong bases to avoid decarboxylation reaction and structural fracture of the molecular chain.

1. The terminal carboxyl group supports esterification, amidation and salt formation reactions to achieve diversified structural modification based on indole skeleton.
2. The propyl aliphatic chain improves the lipophilicity of the molecule and raises the transmembrane efficiency in biological reaction systems.
3. This compound has stable chemical properties under conventional synthesis temperature and will not produce massive impurity by-products in multi-step reactions.

1. Refuse inhalation of solid dust during weighing and material handling; wear dust masks, splash-proof goggles and nitrile chemical resistant gloves.
2. 3-Indolepropionic acid causes mild irritation to skin, ocular mucosa and respiratory tract; flush the contaminated position with plenty of running water for more than 15 minutes after contact.
3. Residues and waste solvents containing 3-Indolepropionic acid should be treated following hazardous waste standards for indole carboxylic acid derivatives.
