Auxin amide conjugates are regulators of the most important auxin, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), which is considered responsible for many important processes within the plants. Herein, amide conjugates of IAA were synthesized employing a simple and efficient coupling method with WSCI·HCl, a water-soluble condensing reagent, in the presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole. IAA conjugates with 10 amino acids along with their corresponding methyl esters were prepared in excellent yields, up to 95%, aiming to facilitate their identification in plant species. Eight IAA-amino acid methyl ester conjugates are characterized here for the first time.
