Abstract

Substituted indoles are of interest from a medicinal chemistry perspective. We have studied the utility of bismuth(III) bromide and other Lewis acid catalysts for the Michael addition of indoles to a variety of chalcones to yield substituted indoles. Bismuth(III) compounds are especially attractive from a green chemistry perspective because they are remarkably nontoxic, non-corrosive and relatively inexpensive. The results of this study will be presented.
