A green and facile method for the alkylation of indole/substituted indole in water using a phase Transfer catalyst (Triethylbenzylammonium Chloride, TEBA) to synthesise bis-indolyl methanes (BIMs) and Michael addition of indole to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is reported. The substitution of indoles occurred exclusively at the 3-position and products of N-alkylation has not been observed. However, for 3-substituted indoles, reactions were found to occur at the 2-position. A comparative study between conventional heating and microwave irradiation has also been reported.

Chlorotrimethylsilane is found to be a comparatively fast and efficient catalyst for carrying out electrophilic substitution reactions of indoles with various aldehydes/ketones/triethylorthoformate, yielding excellent amount of bis(indolyl)methanes/tris(indolyl)methanes. The merits of this protocol are avoidance of any external energy source, minimal reaction time, simple and easy procedure and high yield under solvent free room temperature condition. The versatility of this method has been tested with various aldehydes/ketones and received satisfactory results. A simple, fast, efficient, cheap and versatile method for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes and tris(indolyl)methanes under solvent free room temperature condition using chlorotrimethylsilane as a catalyst has been developed. Thus, we have demonstrated the utility of TMSCl not only as a protecting group but also as catalyst in electrophilic substitution reactions. Copyright
