Facile syntheses of substituted 3-(1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-2-(1-ethyl-1H-indole-3-carbonyl)acrylonitriles 5(a-d) is being reported. L-Tyrosine has been utilized as an efficient and eco-friendly catalyst in water at room temperature for Knoevenagel condensation of N-ethyl indole-3-carboxyaldehyde (2) with 3-cyanoacetylindole contain active methylene group 3(a-d), at room temperature to afford substituted 3-(1-ethyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-2-(1H-indole-3- carbonyl)acrylonitrile 4(a-d), respectively. Subsequently these products were treated with dimethyl sulfate in the presence of Na2CO3 as a base and triethyl benzylammonium chloride (TEBAC) as phase transfer catalyst in DMF at room temperature for 1 h to afford the corresponding substituted 3-(1-ethyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-2-(1-methyl-1H-indole-3-carbonyl)acrylonitrile 5(a-d). The antibacterial and antifungal activities of 4(a-d) and 5(a-d) have been studied.
报告了一种方便的合成取代的3-(1-甲基-1H-
吲哚-3-基)-2-(1-乙基-1H-
吲哚-3-羧基)酸腈5(a-d)的方法。采用
L-酪氨酸作为高效且环保的催化剂,在室温下以
水为环境,进行N-乙基
吲哚-3-
甲醛(2)与含活性亚甲基基团的3-
氰基乙酰
吲哚3(a-d)的克诺文纳尔缩合,最终得到取代的3-(1-乙基-1H-
吲哚-3-基)-2-(1H-
吲哚-3-羧基)酸腈4(a-d)。随后,这些产物在
DMF中,以Na2CO3作为碱,三乙基苄
铵氯化物(
TEBAC)作为相转移催化剂,在室温下反应1小时,得到相应的取代3-(1-乙基-1H-
吲哚-3-基)-2-(1-甲基-1H-
吲哚-3-羧基)酸腈5(a-d)。研究了4(a-d)和5(a-d)的抗菌和抗真菌活性。
