Abstract
An efficient method for the conjugate addition of
indoles to a variety of chalcones using BiBr3 in ethanol (190 proof)
is reported. Products are isolated by a simple procedure that avoids an aqueous
work up and extensive chromatography, thus minimizing waste. Bismuth (III)
compounds are especially attractive from a
green chemistry perspective because they are remarkably nontoxic,
non-corrosive and relatively inexpensive.
