Using choline chloride as cheap and safe accelerator was efficient to promote the Yonemitsu type condensation of indole, benzaldehyde, and malononitrile. More importantly, introducing right amount of water in reaction system was crucial to get desired 3-substituted indoles in good to excellent yields. Due to the catalyst has excellent solubility in aqueous ethanol, the final concoction was easy to separate. Many desired products could be obtained after filtration and washed with cold aqueous ethanol without further purification. Catalyst could further reuse for five more reaction cycles with negligible loss in activity.
- 3-substituted indoles,
- Yonemitsu condensation,
- multicomponent reactions,
- choline chloride,
- organocatalysis,
- synthetic methods
