Background: Indoles and various indolyl derivates are very common in naturally occurring biological active compounds. Many methods are being developed for the synthesis of various bioactive indole derivatives. Objective: Synthesis of biologically promising structurally diverse indole derivatives under mild and environmentally benign conditions. Methods: Synthesis of 3-hydroxy-3-(5-(trifluoromethoxy)-1H-indol-3-yl)indolin-2-one was achieved by the reaction of equimolar mixture of isatin and 3-(trifluoromethoxy)-1H-indol using 20 mol% of mandelic acid as catalyst in aqueous ethanol at room temperature. Under the same optimized reaction conditions, synthesis of 3-(3-hydroxy-2-oxoindolin-3- yl)chroman-2,4-diones was accomplished via the reactions of substituted isatins and 4-hydroxycoumarin. On the other hand, 2-hydroxy-2-(indol-3-yl)-indene-1,3-diones and 10-hydroxy-10-(5-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)phenanthren-9(10H)-one were synthesized from the reactions of indoles and ninhydrin or 9,10-phenanthrenequinone respectively using the same 20 mol% of mandelic acid as an efficient organo-catalyst in aqueous ethanol at room temperature. Results: Mild, safe and clean reaction profiles, energy efficiency, high atom-economy, use of naturally occurring nontoxic organo-catalyst, easy isolation procedure by avoiding column chromatographic purification and gram scale production are some the major advantages of this developed protocol.

A simple, straightforward and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of (E)-3-(arylimino)indolin-2-one derivatives and (E)-2-((4-methoxyphenyl)imino)- acenaphthylen-1(2H)-one. The synthesis of these biologically-significant scaffolds was achieved from the reactions of various substituted anilines and isatins or acenaphthaquinone, respectively, using commercially available, environmentally benign and naturally occurring organic acids such as mandelic acid or itaconic acid as catalyst in aqueous medium at room temperature. Mild reaction conditions, energy efficiency, good to excellent yields, environmentally benign conditions, easy isolation of products, no need of column chromatographic separation and the reusability of reaction media are some of the significant features of the present protocol.

Substituted morpholin-2-one derivatives were readily obtained in two steps starting from commercially available N-protected amino acids. In a metal-free and practical method, a catalytic amount of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid was sufficient to generate morpholinones under mild reaction conditions in an intramolecular hydroamination reaction in good to excellent yields.

An efficient and highly regioselective γ-addition of β-keto sulfones on isatins has been achieved in the presence of a catalytic amount of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) to afford a γ-(3-hydroxy-2-oxindole)-β-keto sulfone structural framework. The scope of the method is tested by screening a series of isatin electrophiles as well as β-keto sulfones. The described method was found to be very handy and provides straightforward access for the diversely functionalized 3-β-keto sulfone substituted-3-hydroxy-2-oxindole structural scaffolds in very good yields from readily available starting materials under metal-free reaction conditions.

An efficient and general method for the synthesis of functionalized α,α-dihaloimines via halogenation of N-substituted enaminoesters and enaminones is described. This reaction, in which both α,α-dihaloimines and mixed α,α-dihaloimines could be achieved in good to excellent yields, is believed to proceed via an α-monohalogenated enamine intermediate. This synthetic method features no use of transition metals, readily accessible substrates, mild reaction conditions, simple and safe operation, and gram scale synthesis. Furthermore, the synthetic utility of the products was demonstrated by their efficient transformations to further useful nitrogen-containing heterocycles and building blocks.

Herein, we report on the metal-free, one-pot synthesis of industrially important dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from molecular CO2 under ambient conditions. In this process, initially the CO2 was chemisorbed through the formation of a switchable ionic liquid (SIL), [DBUH] [CH3CO3], by the interaction of CO2 with an equivalent mixture of organic superbase 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-undec-7-ene (DBU) and methanol. The obtained SIL further reacted with methyl iodide (CH3I) to form DMC. The synthesis was carried out in both dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and methanol. Methanol is preferred, as it not only served as a reagent and solvent in CO2 capture and DMC synthesis, but it also assisted in controlling the side reactions between chemical species such as CH3I and [DBUH]+ cation and increased the yield of DMC. Hence, the use of methanol avoided the loss of captured CO2 and favored the formation of DMC with high selectivity. Under the applied reaction conditions, 89% of the captured CO2 was converted to DMC. DBU was obtained, achieving 86% recovery of its salts formed during the synthesis. Most importantly, in this report we describe a simple and renewable solvent-based process for a metal-free approach to DMC synthesis under industrially feasible reaction conditions.
