Efficient synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes by the reaction of indole with certain aldehydes and ketones in water afforded the corresponding bis(indolyl)methanes in excellent yields. This reaction has been carried out in the presence of 2 mol% of cerium(IV)triflate at room temperature.

A series of 5-(2'-indolyl)thiazoles were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity against selected human cancer cell lines. The reaction of thioamides 3 with 3-tosyloxypentane-2,4-dione 4 led to in situ formation of 5-acetylthiazole 5 which upon treatment with arylhydrazines 6 in polyphosphoric acid resulted in the formation of 5-(2'-indolyl)thiazoles 2. Among the synthesized 5-(2'-indo...

A novel mechanistic duality has been revealed from the indolyl 1,3-heteroatom transposition (IHT) of N -hydroxyindole derivatives.

The bicycloannulation reaction between cyclohexenone and indolyl enamines yields trans-3-(cyclic amino)-2-(3'-indolyl)bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-5-ones, and these adducts are conformationally restricted analogues of indolylethylamine (tryptamine) which exhibit structure-dependent affinity for the serotonin 5HT2 and 5HT1a receptors. The stereochemistry of the isomeric endo and exo adducts obtained is a...

RuCl₃·3H₂O was found to be an effective catalyst for reactions of indoles, 2-methylthiophene, and 2-methylfuran with aldehydes to afford the corresponding bis(indolyl)methanes, bis(thienyl)methanes, and bis(fur-2-yl)methanes in moderate to excellent yields. Experimental results indicated that mono(indolyl)methanol is not the reaction intermediate under these reaction conditions.

This article presents research on the inclusion of biotechnological link in rose breeding. Roses are heterozygous plants and give splitting when propagated by seed. Therefore, clonal micropropagation has been included to reproduce preserve valuable genotypes new starting material. The aim this study was select type auxin its optimal concentrations for better Rhizogenesis micro-sprouts selected ...

Triethylborane (TEB) was found to be a mild, efficient, and acid catalyst in electrophilic substitution reaction of indoles with aldehydes compounds to afford the corresponding bis(indolyl)methanes. Vibrindole A (5) and bis(indolyl)methanes derivatives 16 and 18 were synthesized using this methodology. Compound 16 is an intermediary in the synthesis of the natural bisindoles arsindoline B (2) a...

Benzyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (BTPB) has been applied as an efficient catalyst for the preparation of bis(indolyl)methanes (BIMs) via electrophilic substitution of indoles with aldehydes in the absence of solvent.

A novel synthetic methodology for the synthesis of Bis(indolyl)methanes by using catalytic amount of ferric triflate was described Introduction Bis(indolyl)methanes consists two substituted indole units in the molecule. Bis indole derivatives are reported to exhibit a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities such as cytotoxic, antitumor antimicrobial [1] and antiactivities. [2] For the past ...
