Degradation of indole-3-aeetie acid was investigated in etiolated pea shoots; the study was limited to indolic metabolites. The products formed were fractionated by column chromatography and identified by thin-layer chromatography and chemical methods. The pathway of indole-3-acetic acid degradation
## Abstract A general method for microscale synthesis of ^14^Cβlabeled indoleβ3βacetic acids with halogen substitutions in the benzene ring is described. The method utilizes halogen substituted phenylhydrazines reacted with [^14^C]β2βoxoglutarate to generate the halogenated indoleβ3βacetic acid. 3β
