In organic chemistry, indoxyl is a nitrogenous substance with the chemical formula: C8H7NO. Indoxyl is isomeric with oxindol and is obtained as an oily liquid.
==Preparation== The Heumann indigo synthesis starts from anthranilic acid: 600px|none|thumb|Indoxyl-Synthese: Anthanilic acid (1) reacts with chloroacetic acid to give phenylglycine-o-carboxylic acid. When treated in molten sodium carbonate, the 2-Indoxycarboxylic acid (3) decarboxylates to give indoxyl (4) .
