Water Assisted and Choline Chloride-Dimethylurea Deep Eutectic Salts as Catalyst towards the Attractive Reaction of Indole, Benzaldehyde, and Malononitrile
摘要:
The condensation of indole, benzaldehyde, and malononitrile was relatively rigorous compared with other Yonemitsu type reaction. We described a strategy using catalytic amount of choline chloride-dimethylurea deep eutectic salts as cheap and safe accelerator. We also found that introducing right amount of water in reaction system was crucial. This method tolerates variations in all three components to get desired 3-substituted indoles in satisfactory yields.
An efficient three-component reaction of indole, aldehyde, and malononitrile in water catalyzed by a copper(II) sulfonato Salen complex afforded 3-indole derivatives in good to excellent yields up to 97%.
