A simple and efficient solvent-free procedure for the preparation of bis(indolyl)methanes via electrophilic substitution reactions of indoles with aldehydes and ketones is described. The reactions took place in the presence of a catalytic amount of silica chloride at room temperature. The advantages of this method are high yields, short reaction times, low cost, and compliance with green-chemistry protocols.Key words: silica chloride, indole, carbonyl compound, solvent-free, bis(indolyl)methane.

Aldehydes are smoothly converted into the corresponding 1,1-diacetates (acylals) in high yields in the presence of a catalytic amount (0.1 mol-%) of iron(III) fluoride at room temperature. The noteworthy features of the present system are shorter reaction times, chemoselective protection of aldehydes, and solvent-free conditions. The procedure is especially useful for large-scale syntheses as the catalyst is highly effective from the view of activity, selectivity, reusability, and economy in the preparation of 1,1-diacetates (acylals).

: A green and efficient protocol was developed for the one-pot three-component synthesis of novel 2-(4-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-2-(arylamino)-1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione derivatives by the reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin, ninhydrin and aromatic amines in the presence of guanidine hydrochloride as an organocatalyst under solvent-free conditions. The present approach offers several advantages such as low cost, simple work-up, short reaction times, chromatography-free purification, high yields and greener conditions.

Crosslinked polystyrene-supported aluminum chloride (Ps-AlCl3) is a stable, recyclable and environmental friendly heterogeneous catalyst for the condensation of indole with aldehydes and ketones to afford bis-indolylmethanes. In addition, (Ps-AlCl3) shows satisfactory selectivity in the reaction of mixtures of an aldehyde and a ketone with indole. Although AlCl3 is a water sensitive, corrosive and environmentally harmful compound, Ps-AlCl3 is a stable and water-tolerant species. The mild reaction conditions, short reaction times, easy work-up, high to excellent yields, chemoselectivity, reuse of the catalyst for at least ten times without significant change in its catalytic activity, low cost, and easy preparation and handling of the polymeric catalyst are obvious advantages of the present method.

Leucine amino acid, has been explored as an effective catalyst for conversion of ketones and aldehydes into corresponding gem-dihydroperoxides using 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide in acetonitrile at room temperature. The reactions proceed smoothly within short periods of time to provide the respective gem-dihydroperoxides in excellent yields. Mild reaction conditions, low reaction times, high yields, low environmental impact, use of non-expensive, recyclable and green catalyst are the main merits of the present method.

Various 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds reacted readily with benzylic alcohols in the presence of Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40 salt to produce 2-benzylic-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in high yields. It was found that this catalyst could be completely recovered and reused without loss of its catalytic activities and is thus environmentally conscious especially in solvent-free conditions. The use of this method provides improved modification of the direct benzylation of 1,3-carbonyl compounds in terms of low reaction times, solvent-free conditions, usage of a small amount of the catalyst, and a clean reaction profile. Furthermore, the use of this catalyst is feasible because of its easy preparation, its easy handling, its stability, its easy recovery, its reusability, being environmentally green, its excellent activity, and its selectivity.

It has been our endeavor to prepare organotellurium compounds bearing functionalized groups. The electrophilic substitution reactions were performed with 1-acetyl-1-cyclohexene, an alkenylmethyl ketone (cyclo-C6H9COCH3), with NpTeCl3 and MesTeCl3. The reactions were found to proceed smoothly at room temperature. The unsymmetrical functionalized arylalkyltellurium dichloride Np(cyclo-C6H9COCH2)TeCl2, 1Aa or Mes(cyclo-C6H9COCH2)TeCl2, 1Ba was obtained in good to moderate yield when the reactants were stirred for 7-8 h in absence of any solvent. The reaction with MesTeCl3 is rather slow and requires over 24 h of stirring. Biphasic (H2O/CH2Cl2) reduction of the dichlorides 1Aa or 1Ba with aqueous Na2S2O5 did not gave the expected unsymmetrical telluroether (cyclo-C6H9COCH2)-Te-Ar, instead the usual work up of the organic phase afforded the respective ditellurides, Ar2Te2. The bromo analogues of 1Aa and 1Ba, namely Ar(cyclo-C6H9COCH2)TeBr2 (Ar= 1-Np, 1Ab and Mes, 1Bb), were prepared by the metathetical reaction of the chlorides with sodium bromide (Scheme 1). The newly synthesized dihaloaryltellurated alkenyl carbonyl compounds are colourless to pale yellow crystalline solids soluble in common organic solvents and have been characterized by 1H, 13C and 125Te NMR in solution. The structural studies in the solid state for the compounds 1Aa and 1Ba have been carried out by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique

An efficient method for the preparation of bis-indolylmethanes and bis-indolylglycoconjugates from carbonyl compounds with indoles in the presence of a catalytic amount of iron(iii) fluoride under solvent-free conditions is reported. The desired products were obtained in high yields with a simple and environmentally benign procedure. The use of iron(iii) fluoride is feasible because of its stability, easy handling, easy recovery, reusability, and good activity.

Aim and Objective: In the present work, 1, 1’-sulfinyldiethylammonium bis (hydrogen sulfate) as a novel room temperature dicationic ionic liquid was synthesized and used as a catalyst for xanthenediones synthesis. Material and Method: The dicationic ionic liquid has been synthesized using ethylamine and thionyl chloride as precursors. Then, by the reaction of [(EtNH2)2SO]Cl2 with H2SO4, [(EtNH2)2SO][HSO4]2 was prepared and after that, it was characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR as well as Hammett acidity function. This dicationic ionic liquid was used as a catalyst for the synthesis of xanthenediones via condensation of structurally diverse aldehydes and dimedone under solvent-free conditions. The progress of the reaction was monitored by thin layer chromatography (ethyl acetate/n-hexane = 3/7). Results: An efficient solvent-free method for the synthesis of xanthenediones has been developed in the presence of [(EtNH2)2SO][HSO4]2 as a powerful catalyst with high to excellent yields, and short reaction times. Additionally, recycling studies have demonstrated that the dicationic ionic liquid can be readily recovered and reused at least four times without significant loss of its catalytic activity. Conclusion: This new dicationic ionic liquid can act as a highly efficient catalyst for xanthenediones synthesis under solvent-free conditions.
