The extensive usefulness of N-heterocycles as potent bioactive motifs has attracted researchers to expand newer methods for their efficient synthesis. Particularly, indoles are widely known for their prevalent pharmacological properties. Green chemistry provides various facile synthetic tools viz. alternative energy resources, nonconventional solvents, nano-catalysts, etc. Modern strategies of using ultrasound waves as alternative energy resource in organic synthesis lead to the development of environment friendly and cost effective techniques. The chemical and mechanical effects of ultrasound waves impart significant enhancement in both stoichiometric and catalytic reactions. The exclusive physicochemical properties of water offer its widespread utility for carrying out organic reactions in it. The aim of this review article is to provide an inclusive summary of combined use of ultrasound and aqueous media for the facile synthesis of biologically vital indole derivatives.

Ethyl diazoacetate (EDA) is a very important reagent for different types of organic reactions. It can be used to synthesize cyclopropanes, cyclopropenes, triazoles and pyrazolines, and also for cycloaddition reactions, reactions involving transition metals, olefinations of aldehydes, when it is necessary to introduce an ester group in the molecule scaffold, and in processes like continuous flow methods. In summary, EDA is a first-choice reagent for many organic chemists in their daily reactions.

A heterogeneous CoOCN composite, synthesized via a one-pot reaction of [Co(NO3)2] and urea at 500 °C in muffle furnace. The composite was fully characterized by the FTIR, Raman, powder XRD and XPS techniques. The catalyst was found to be efficient for the hydrations of aryl alkynes and nitriles under aerobic conditions. Apart of that, the catalyst exhibits high catalytic performance for the reduction of nitroarenes under the inert gas free conditions. This multitasking CoOCN was found to be highly significant for the all derivatives of nitrobenzene, alkynes and nitriles as good to excellent yields were obtained. The catalyst was recovered quantitatively from the reaction mixture by simple filtration and consequently reused for seven consecutive cycles in all reactions without significant loss of catalytic activity. Hence, the synthesized CN doped CoOCN composite worked as multitasking catalyst for various value added organic transformations, and it is highly economical and reusable upto seven catalytic cycles without any activation, even the last cycle was producing a reasonable yields up to 48-50%.

Linearly fused Retinoids derivatives have been synthesized via a straightforward pathway using palladium-catalyzed reductive Heck cyclization strategy. The synthesis involved a four step linear approach utilizing iodination, sulfonylation or benzylation or esterfication, palladium- catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling and palladium mediated reductive Heck cyclization.

Selective syntheses of coumarin and benzofuran derivatives were achieved via HClO4-mediated intermolecular annulation using phenols and α-methoxy-β-ketoesters. Coumarins are formed under dehydrated conditions, whereas benzofurans are formed in the presence of water. In the synthetic process of benzofurans, α-methoxy-β-ketoesters are converted into α-methoxyacetophenones, and the methoxy group is an important element in the intermolecular annulation.
