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%.

A sustainable three-component reaction of indoles, aldehydes, and malononitrile in water promoted by polyethyleneglycol (PEG-200) afforded 3-indole derivatives in good to excellent yields.
An expedient and efficient one‐pot three‐component synthesis of 3‐substituted indoles has been developed by the reaction of indoles, active methylene compounds and aldehydes using a catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium fluoride undersolvent‐freeconditions.
