An efficient three-component, catalyst-, solvent-, and column chromatography-free procedure was developed for the synthesis of 3-(1H-pyrrol-3-yl)indolin-2-ones.
Free Conditions. -A convenient catalyst-free, three-component procedure is developed for the synthesis of tetrasubstituted pyrroles under solvent-free conditions and in green solvents glycerol, PEG-200 and water. A sequence involving enamine--formation, Michael addition, and intramolecular cyclization of primary amines with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and isatin-derived Michael acceptors affords (pyrrol-3-yl)indolin-2-ones in high yields. Best results are achieved under neat conditions. Compound (IIIa) shows significant in vitro cytotoxicity against Ehrlich's ascites carcinoma tumor cells. -(VIVEKANAND, T.; VINOTH, P.; AGIESHKUMAR, B.; SAMPATH, N.; SUDALAI, A.; MENENDEZ, J.
