Sustainable Synthesis of Indole-Substituted Densely Functionalized Pyrrole.

Abstract

A novel chromatography- and catalyst-free methodology has been developed for the synthesis of poly substituted pyrrole in good yields via a multicomponent reaction of arylglyoxal, 1,3-dicarbonyl, indole, and aromatic amine. This strategy provides various advantages such as simple experimental and workup procedures, mild reaction conditions, no added catalyst, use of green solvent, and simple purification procedure of pure product without using column chromatography. This green method offers a simple and highly effective strategy to synthesize a wide range of indole-pyrrole conjugates in a one-pot operation.
