Synthesis of Bis(indolyl)methanes: A Natural Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
An efficient and greener synthesis of bis(indoly)methanes was investigated via electrophilic substitution reaction of indole with carbonyl compounds in the presence of lemon juice as natural acid catalyst. The demonstrated environmentally benign protocol provided bis(indoly)methanes under mild reaction conditions, shorter reaction time and in excellent yield with simple work up procedure.

متن کاملAn efficient green procedure for the synthesis of bis (indolyl) methanes in water
In this work, a green, simple and highly efficient procedure for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes is described. The condensation of indoles with carbonyl compounds catalyzed by citric acid in water affords bis(indolyl)methanes in high yields and relatively short reaction times. The advantages of this method are using of water as a low cost solvent and efficient recyclability of the catalyst.
