Inorganic chemistry,indoxyl is anitrogenous substance with thechemical formula: C8H7NO.[1][2] Indoxyl isisomeric withoxindol and is obtained as an oily liquid.
TheHeumann indigo synthesis starts fromanthranilic acid:

In nature indoxyl is derived fromindican, which is aglycoside. Thehydrolysis ofindican yields β-D-glucose and indoxyl.
Indigo dye is a product of the mildoxidation of indoxyl.
Indoxyl can be found in urine and is titrated with Obermayer's reagent, which is a dilute solution offerric chloride (FeCl3) inhydrochloric acid (HCl).[3]
