A novel method for Lewis acid catalyzed Nenitzescu indole syntheses of 5βhydroxyindoles bearing different substituents in positions 1 )Alk, Bn, Ar), 2 )Me, Et, Ph), and 3 )COOEt, COMe, CONHPh) as well as tricyclic derivatives are reported. The method is simple, rapid, efficient, and allows preparation of hydroxyindoles from 1,4βbenzoquinone and enamines in good to excellent yields with the use of lowβpolar solvents in the presence of weak Lewis acids catalysts. The formation of 5βhydroxyindoles under such mild conditions is explained in terms of a nonβredox mechanism.

A fast solvent-less synthesis of 5-hydroxy-benzo[g]indole scaffolds is accomplished from Lewis acid-catalyzed one-pot reaction of naphthoquinone, x-morpholinoacetophenone, and urea under microwave irradiation. The key step in the synthesis is the Michael addition followed by in situ aza cyclization
A highly efficient Lewis acid-catalyzed method for the Nenitzescu synthesis of 5-hydroxyindoles with a range of substituents at N-1 and C-3 and symmetric 5,5 0 -dihydroxydiindoles has been developed. The amount of the catalyst (10-100 mol %) required depended on the nature of the enaminone component
The solid-phase version of the Nenitzescu indole synthesis of 5-hydroxyindole-3-carboxamides is reported. This process involves initial acetoacetylation of ArgoPore 1 -Rink-NH 2 resin with diketene to aord a polymer-bound acetoacetamide. Formation of the corresponding enaminones via condensation wit
