Abstract
The Fischer indole synthesis was carried out using microwaves instead of conventional heating procedures. When the mixture of phenylhydrazine, cyclohexanone and zinc chloride was irradiated at 600 W for 3 min, 76% of 1,2,3,4โtetrahydrocarbazole was obtained. However, when zinc chloride was replaced with pโtoluenesulfonic acid (pโTSA), the reaction yielded 91% of 1,2,3,4โtetrahydrocarbazole. Thus, a series of indoles were prepared using microwaves in the presence of pโTSA catalyst. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2011).
