β¦ Synopsis
An efficient and expedient synthetic route to 2-acylindole-3-acetic acids is described. This work first demonstrates a one-pot room-temperature indole ring construction via the in situ generation of indoline intermediate.

## 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
3-Methyleneoxindole is a cytotoxic metabolite of indole-3-acetic acid with potential for use in cancer therapy. This species and ring-substituted analogues are conveniently synthesised from the corresponding isatins via a Peterson olefination.
Indoles can serve as substrates for the Petasis boronic acid-Mannich reaction, providing a practical synthetic route for C-C bond formation in a-(N-substituted indole)carboxylic acids. The scope and limitations of this method have been examined.
