General Description

Quantum chemical calculations of ground state energy, geometrical structure and vibrational wavenumbers of 1-acetylindole has been carried out using density functional (DFT/B3LYP) method. Regioselective acylations of 1-acetylindole (N-acetylindole) under Friedel-Crafts reaction has been reported. Reaction of 1-acetylindole with manganese(III) acetate in the presence of malonic acid, is reported to afford 4-acetyl-3,3a,4,8b-tetrahydro-2H-furo[3,2-b]indol-2-one.

Synthesis and characterization of Trichloroisocyanouric acid functionalized mesoporous silica nanocomposite (SBA/TCCA) for the Acylation of Indole

Trichloroisocyanouric acid (TCCA)-functionalized mesoporous silica nanocomposites (SBA/ TCCA) were synthesized and characterized for the acylation of indole. The uniform incorporation of TCCA inside the SBA-15 matrix was confirmed by standard characteriza

An efficient catalytic method for the c-n acylation of heterocycles by schiff base co(Ii), ni(ii), cu(ii) and zn(ii) transition metal complexes

The catalytic activity of Schiff base Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) transition metal complexes was tested for N-Acylation of heterocycles with acetyl chloride. It is observed that all the complexes worked as efficient catalysts. The structural type of complexes was studied by an X-ray powder diffractogram (XRD). The mixed ligand complexes with PPh3 ligand show greater activity as compared to Phen complexes and Schiff base complexes. Especially complex [Ni(L)(PPh3)2Cl2] efficiently worked as a catalyst because of high thermal stability (TGA-DSC) and large catalytic surface area (BET).

Ascorbic Acid as an Aryl Radical Inducer in the Gold-Mediated Arylation of Indoles with Aryldiazonium Chlorides

In recent years interest in the development of protocols that facilitate the oxidative addition of gold to access mild cross-coupling processes mediated by this metal has increased. In this context, we report herein that ascorbic acid, a natural and readily accessible antioxidant, can be used to accelerate the oxidative addition of aryldiazonium chlorides onto AuI. The aryl–AuIII species generated in this way, has been used to prepare 3-arylindoles in a one-pot protocol starting from anilines and para-, meta-, and ortho- substituted aryldiazonium chlorides. The mechanism underlying the oxidative addition has been examined in detail based on EPR analyses, cyclic voltammetry, and DFT calculations. Interestingly, we have found that in this protocol, the chloride atom induces the AuII/AuIII oxidation step.

Aerobic oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles over OMS-2-based nanocomposite catalysts: Preparation, characterization and kinetic study

OMS-2-based nanocomposites doped with tungsten were prepared for the first time and their remarkably enhanced catalytic activity and recyclability in aerobic oxidative dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles were examined in detail. Many tetrahydroquinoline derivatives and a broad range of other N-heterocycles could be tolerated by the catalytic system using a biomass-derived solvent as a reaction medium. Newly generated mixed crystal phases, noticeably enhanced surface areas and labile lattice oxygen of the OMS-2-based nanocomposite catalysts might contribute to their excellent catalytic performance. Moreover, a kinetic study was extensively performed which concluded that the dehydrogenation of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline is a first-order reaction, and the apparent activation energy is 29.66 kJ mol-1
