【 摘 要 】

The present work describes the use of piperonal,a derivative of the secondary metabolite safrole, for the synthesis of new 5,6-methylenedioxysubstitutedindole carboxylic acids structurally related to the indol-3-yl-acetic acid (AIA,I). The route comprises six steps beginning with piperonal with an overallyield of 19%. Compound IX was tested towards its plant growth regulatorproperties in bioassays specific for auxine activity. The in vitro assayswere performed in a germination chamber and were of two types: root growth ingerminated seeds of Lactuca sativa, Cucumbis sativus and Raphanussativus and peciole biotest using Phaseolus vulgaris.
