Plant growth regulator | Plant growth regulator is artificially synthesized with physiological activity, similar to plant hormones and can regulate plant physiological processes and control plant growth and Reproduction of organic compounds, indolebutyric acid (IBA) and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) are two commonly used plant growth regulators for cuttings and rooting, among them, indolebutyric acid has the best effect, because it operates less in plants and is easy to remain near the use site. In addition, if a root-promoting growth regulator is mixed with another substance that is beneficial to the role of the growth regulator, it can show synergy or additive effect, which may make plants that are difficult to root get more satisfactory results. Indolebutyric acid has a strong rooting effect, but the adventitious roots produced are thin and long, while the root-promoting effect of naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) is that the roots are small and thick. Therefore, a mixture of the two can often obtain better results. In 1928, F.W.Went first isolated this chemical messenger that caused coleoptile bending and named it auxin. In 1934, F.Kogl et al. determined it to be indole acetic acid. Therefore, it is customary to use indole acetic acid as a synonym for auxin. Soon after recognizing that indole acetic acid has a growth-regulating effect, scientists discovered that indole propionic acid (IPA) and indole butyric acid (IBA) also have physiological effects similar to auxin. Later, it was discovered that naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 2,4, 6-trichlorobenzoic acid and 4-amino -3,5, 6-trichloropyridine carboxylic acids and some of their derivatives (including salts, esters, amides, such as sodium naphthalene acetate, 2,4-D butyl ester, naphthaleneacetamide, etc.), all have auxin activity. 3-indole butyric acid is not easy to be oxidized in plants, and its conductivity is poor. It has a physiological effect similar to indole acetic acid, which can act on the cell division and cell growth of plants, but it is not as obvious as indole acetic acid. It is mainly used to promote the rooting of cuttings and effectively promote the cell division of the cambium. Maintain the efficacy for a long time, form more adventitious roots and slender, and the effect of mixed application with naphthaleneacetic acid is better. 3-indole butyric acid can be used for cuttings and cuttings of chrysanthemum and other ornamental plants to promote rooting at a concentration of 0.5~1.0mg/L, but should not be used in leaves of plants. Degradation and metabolism: soil can degrade rapidly. |
Preparation method | The laboratory obtained indole butyric acid by heating and refluxing the mixture of indole, potassium hydroxide, polyoxalic acid and dried tetralin with γ-butyrolactone. The reaction formula is as follows: Indole, potassium hydroxide, polyoxalic acid and dried tetralin are added to the reactor. After the mixture is stirred at room temperature for half an hour, γ-butyrolactone is added. Then heat reflux for 4 hours. The moisture in the reaction system is removed by the water separator. After cooling, all the solids are dissolved with water, and the organic layer is acidified with hydrochloric acid to precipitate a large amount of off-white solids. Suction filtration, water washing, drying to obtain crude indole butyric acid, the crude yield is 92.6%. After recrystallization with ethanol water, the white scaly crystal is 3-indolebutyric acid with a melting point of 121.5~123 ℃. Reference material: Editor-in-Chief Wang Daquan.

analysis method | 1. product analysis: in anhydrous ethanol, it was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry at 281nm (ACF Chemiefarma method). 2. Residue analysis: chloroform is used for extraction from acidic medium, methanol solution is oscillated with petroleum ether (40~60 ℃), and then ultraviolet detection (ACF Chemiefarma method) is carried out by high performance liquid chromatography. It can also refer to the residue analysis method of indole acetic acid. First, it is derived into methyl ester or trimethyl silane, and then analyzed by gas chromatography. |
toxicity | low toxicity to humans and animals. Acute oral LD505000mg/kg in rats and 1760 mg/kg in mice. Carp LC50180mg/L(48h). Low toxicity to bees. |
use | plant growth regulator, treated with 0.001% ~ 0.0001% liquid medicine, can promote the cutting rooting of many trees and flowers, and is of great significance to the mass propagation of saplings and flowers. It cannot be used for plant leaves when used. Plant hormone (rooting agent). Indolebutyric acid (IBA) is a broad-spectrum indole plant growth regulator, which is a good rooting agent and can promote the rooting of herbaceous and woody ornamental plant cuttings. It can also be used for fruit setting of melons and fruits to improve fruit setting rate. plant hormones; pharmaceutical intermediates used as plant growth stimulating hormone to promote the growth of plant taproots and improve the germination rate and survival rate |
Production method | Preparation method 1 is obtained by condensation of indole and γ-butyrolactone at the reflux temperature of tetrahydronaphthalene. The operation method is as follows: 1.17g indole, 1.4g potassium hydroxide, 0.2g phase transfer catalyst polyethylene glycol and dried tetrahydronaphthalene 3mL are mixed, stirred for 30min at room temperature, 1.12g γ-butyrolactone is added, and refluxed for 4h at more than 200 ℃. The moisture in the reaction system is removed by the water separator. After cooling, the solids are completely dissolved with 15mL of water, and a large amount of off-white solids are precipitated by acidification with hydrochloric acid in the separated organic layer. Filter by suction, wash with water and dry to obtain 1.88g of product, and the yield of crude product is 92.6%. This method has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, simple operation and high yield. The second preparation method is to produce 3-butyronitrile indole by reacting indole with Grignard reagent and α-chloropropiononitrile, which is then hydrolyzed by NaOH and reacted with hydrochloric acid. |
