We have developed a simple route for the synthesis of [4-(3-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)phenyl](phenyl)methanone from easily available starting materials. The (4-propylphenyl) phenylmethanone was prepared by Friedel Craft's benzoylation of n-propyl benzene with benzoyl chloride in dichloromethane using aluminium chloride as the Lewis acid catalyst. Side chain bromination with N-bromo succinimide in tetra chloro methane furnished the bromo derivative which on oxidation with bis-tetra butyl ammonium dichromate gave 1, 4-diacyl benzene. The target molecule was obtained through Fischer indole cyclisation of the diacyl benzene namely 1-(4-benzoylphenyl)propan-1-one via the formation of the hydrazone, followed by cyclization in presence of boron trifluoride ethyl etherate in acetic acid. The structure of the target molecule was elucidated by IR, H1, C13 NMR, Mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. This method proves to be an efficient route for the synthesis of [4-(3-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)phenyl](phenyl)methanone in high yields, thereby facilitating the generation of potential biologically active compounds.
PALLADIUM-CATALYSED COUPLING OF ARYL AND VINYL TRIFLATES OR HALIDES WITH 2-ETHYNYLANILINE: AN EFFICIENT ROUTE TO FUNCTIONALIZED 2-SUBSTITUTED INDOLES

The palladium(O)-catalysed coupling of aryl and vinyl triflates or halides with the easily available 2-ethynylaniline, followed by a palladium(II)-catalysed cyclization step, provides an efficient and very versatile procedure for the synthesis of function
