Aim and Objective:
An efficient and practical procedure for the synthesis of
heterocyclic compounds such as quinazolines, quinoxalines and bis(indolyl)methanes was
developed using 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) phenyl ammonium hexafluorophosphate (BFPHP) as a
novel organocatalyst.
Material and Method:
All of the obtained products are known compounds and identified by IR,
1HNMR, 13CNMR and melting points.
Results:
Various products were obtained in good to excellent yields under reaction conditions.
Conclusion:
The BFPHP organocatalyst demonstrates a novel class of non-asymmetric
organocatalysts, which has gained much attention in green chemistry.
