Abstract
Ruthenium-exchanged FAU-Y zeolite (RuY) was used as a recyclable catalyst for regioselective ring-opening of epoxides with indoles under irradiation of sonic waves. It was found that a solvent free process, under the above mentioned conditions provides good yields of the desired 3-alkylated indole derivatives.
► A convenient method for the addition of indoles to epoxides is developed. ► Simultaneous application of sonic waves and RuY resulted in more efficiency. ► Regioselectivity toward secondary alcohol products was observed. ► Reusability of the catalyst and solvent free conditions are also, noticeable.
