title: Multicomponent synthesis of 3-indolepropionic acids.
abstract: A three-component one-pot procedure (3-MC) was developed to assemble 3-indolepropionic acids from commercially available materials. This new methodology affords the title compounds in high yields and without the use of chromatography. [reaction: see text].
