โœฆ Synopsis


Treatment of racemic 2-hydroxy-3-(1H-indol-3yl)propionic acid methyl ester (5) with isopropyl magnesium chloride provided the title compound 1 and its isomer, 3-hydroxy-1-(indol-3-yl)-4-methylpentan-2-one (9). Both enantiomers (>96% ee) of each component were obtained via semi-preparative chiral supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). In contrast to previous reports, these compounds, as well as their acetate derivatives, were not active or very weakly active against 16 bacterial strains, including Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus.

## Abstract Herein, an excellent method for the synthesis of twelve novel Schiff base derivatives containing indole and triazole assisted by microwave irradiation is reported. Compared with the conventional method, the yields increased from 59โ€“84 % to 85โ€“96 % and the reaction time was reduced from
