Abstract

In this paper, the reaction of indole with electron-deficient alkenes in aqueous media is reported. This procedure allows the synthesis of bis(indole) derivatives in good to high yields at 90 °C under silent and ultrasound irradiation conditions. Short reaction times and high yields of desired products are the main advantages of the presented procedure. This reaction catalyzed by 12-tungstophosphoric acid is operationally simple and considers environmental aspects by avoiding toxic catalysts and solvents.
