ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis of Aryl/Alkyl(2,2′-bis-3-methylindolyl)methanes and Aryl(3,3′-bis-indolyl)methanes Promoted by Secondary Amine Based Ionic Liquids and Microwave Irradiation

Aryl/alkyl(2,2′-bis-3-methylindolyl)methanes and aryl(bis-3,3′-indolyl)methanes are synthesized in high yield using ionic liquids mediated by microwave. Reaction conditions and product recovery are simple and ionic liquids could be recycled.
