Given the broad spectrum of biological uses of heteroaryl-acrylonitrile derivatives, it is necessary to find simple methods to synthesize and diversify this family of compounds. We report a stereoselective synthesis of a series of new (E)-2-(1H-indole-3-ylcarbonyl)-3-heteroaryl-acrylonitriles ( a-i) obtained from 3-(cyanoacetyl)indole and heteroaryl-aldehydes under microwaveassisted Knoevenagel reaction at 300 W of potency and 100 ∘ C. The desired derivatives ( a-i) were obtained with variable yields (30-94%) and time reactions (8-90 min). All the heteroaryl-acrylonitriles were characterized by physicoanalytical techniques such IR, 1 H, 13 C NMR, and electrospray mass spectrometry.
