Facile Synthesis of 3(α,β‐Diaryl Vinyl)Indoles Under Conventional and Solvent‐Free Microwave Irradiation

Abstract

An efficient route for the synthesis of 3‐diarylvinylindoles has been developed by employing phosphorylchloride as a reagent under conventional conditions and microwave irradiation using K₁₀ montmorillonite clay as a solid support.

Keywords:

• Conventional and microwave conditions
• 2‐methyl‐3‐diarylvinylindoles
• Montmorillonite K₁₀ clay
• phosphoryl chloride
