Question

Synthesis of Indole-3-Acetic Acid

Answer 1

Chemically, it can be synthesized by the reaction of indole with glycolic acid in the presence of base at 250 °C: Alternatively the compound has been synthesized by Fischer indole synthesis using Glutamic acid and Phenylhydrazine. Glutamic acid was converted to the necessary aldehyde via Strecker degradation ...
