By direct coupling 7-azaindole and cyclic imines, such as 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline, 6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridine, 3,4-dihydro-β-carboline, and 4,5-dihydro-3H-benz[c]azepine, new 3-substituted 7-azaindole derivatives have been synthesized. The reaction was extended to 4-azaindoles and 6-azaindoles, as electron-rich aromatic compounds. The lowest reactivity was observed in the case of C-3 substitution of 5-azaindole. In this case, the aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction took place by using 10 mol % of p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TSA) as the catalyst. The role of the acid catalyst can be explained by the different pKa values of the azaindoles. All reactions were performed in solvent-free conditions by using both classical heating and microwave irradiation. In all cases, microwave heating proved to be more convenient to synthesize new C-3-substituted azaindole derivatives.

Contrary to literature reports, the o-allyloxy- and crotyloxy-acetophenone-oximes (2a, 2b) are transformed to nitrones, which undergo regio- and stereoselective intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions, both on microwave heating under solvent free conditions and refluxing in toluene, to afford novel cycloadducts (5a, 5b); the oxazepine-N-oxide (3a) reported to be formed in 98% yield was obtained only as a minor product (~10%). However, o-cinnamyloxy-acetophenone-oxime (2c) under similar conditions undergoes intramolecular N-alkylation to afford nitrone (3c). The reactions carried out under microwave irradiation are cleaner, require shorter reaction times, and have higher yields. Corresponding intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of N-methylnitrones (B), generated in situ from o-alkenylmethoxy-acetophenones (1a–1c) and N-methylhydroxylamine under solvent-free microwave irradiation conditions, are completely regio- and stereoselective, require much shorter reaction times, and afford adducts (4a–4c) in higher yields, as compared with their thermal counterparts.Key words: cycloadditions, nitrones, oximes, o-alkenylmethoxy-acetophenones, microwave, isoxazolidines.

Background: A rapid, efficient, and environmentally benign procedure for the synthesis of novel furo [2,3- c]phenazine derivatives has been developed via reactions of 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione, arylglyoxals, and indole in the presence of TiO2-SO3H-catalyst (TSAC) as a recyclable heterogeneous catalyst under solvent-free conditions using microwave irradiation. Introduction: This study describes a successful approach for the synthesis of 2-(4-bromophenyl)-1-(1H-indol-3-yl) benzo[a]furo[2,3-c] phenazine via TiO2-SO3H-catalyst using microwave irradiation. Objectives: In this paper, we wish to report an efficient and convenient method for the synthesis of phenazine derivatives from benzo[a]phenazin-5-ol, arylglyoxal derivatives, and Indoles in the presence of TiO2-SO3H-catalyst under microwave irradiation. Materials and Methods: All reagents and solvent were purchased from Merck and Aldrich and used without further purification. 1H NMR spectra (DMSO) were recorded on Gemini-500 MHz spectrophotometer with TMS as internal standard. Results and Discussions: To investigate the reaction conditions for the synthesis of 2-(4-bromophenyl)-1-(1H-indol-3-yl) benzo[a]furo [2, 3-c] phenazine derivatives, we performed a reaction between 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione (1 mmol) and aromatic 1,2-diamines (1 mmol) as a model. Conclusion: We demonstrated a green and straightforward procedure for the efficient synthesis of novel benzo[a]furo[2, 3- c] phenazine derivatives in high yields via a one-pot, four-component domino protocol by using TiO2-SO3H as a mild, effective, non-toxic, and inexpensive solid acid catalyst without the addition of an organic co-solvent.

A rapid method for the preparation of N-aryl-2-methylthio-4-oxo-1,4-dihydro quinoline-3-carbonitriles (2a–e) and N-aryl-3-methylthio-4H-1,4-benzothiazine-2-carbonitrile 1,1-dioxides (2f–o) is reported. The cyclization is accelerated by microwave irradiation under solvent free conditions in the presence of K2CO3.

Indoles constitute a widely occurring functional group in nature and are present in an extensive number of bioactive natural products and medicinally important compounds. As a result, exponential increases in the development of novel methods for the formation of indole core along with site-specific indoles have been established. Conventional methods for the synthesis of indoles are getting replaced with green methods involving ionic liquids, water as a solvent, solid acid catalyst, microwave irradiation and the use of nanoparticles under solvent-free conditions. In addition, there are immense applications of the substituted indoles in diverse fields.
