A facile synthesis of 1,2,3-triazolyl indole hybrids via SbCl3-catalysed Michael addition of indoles to 1,2,3-triazolyl chalcones

Abstract

An efficient, facile and environmentally benign synthesis of a library of 1,2,3-triazolyl chalcone hybrids (3a-u) has been accomplished by grinding the reactants at room temperature in excellent yields in very short reaction time. Subsequently, SbCl3 catalysed Michael addition of indoles to the chalcones afford 1,2,3-triazolyl indole hybrids (5a-l) in excellent yields. © Indian Academy of Sciences.
