16. General procedure for the synthesis of compounds 3 and 4. Synthesis of indoles 3:
In a 10-mL reaction vial, alloxan monohydrate 1 (1.1 mmol, 1.1 equiv),N-
substituted enaminones 2a–2o (1 mmol, 1.0 equiv), and HOAc (4.0 mL) were
stirred at room temperature for 13–24 min. Upon completion, monitored by
TLC, the mixture was poured into the cold water, and a solid product was
collected by Büchner filtration. The crude solid was purified by
recrystallization from EtOH (95%) to give the pure products 3a–3o. N-
Carbamoyl-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-6,6-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-2,3,4,5,6,7-
hexahydro-1H-indole-3-carboxamide (3a) White solid, mp: 203–204 °C; IR
