General description

2-Methyl-3-indoleacetic acid is a common plant growth hormone. Relative activity of 2-methyl-3-indoleacetic acid in promoting growth (elongation) in plant cells was evaluated.

Application

  • Reactant for preparation of N-methyl-N-[[(nitrophenyl)sulfonyl]oxy]indoleacetamide derivatives
  • Reactant for preparation of indomethacin analogs and derivatives
  • Reactant for coupling reaction with diazomethane
  • Reactant for prepnaration of (methylindolyl)methyltriazolethiones and (methylindolyl)methylthiadiazolylamines as antidepressant/anticonvulsant agents
