“…On the other hand, indole derivatives have been a topic of substantial research interest in contemporary heterocyclic and medicinal chemistry due to their great significance in the view of their (i) occurrence in nature as a prominent sub-structure of a large number of alkaloids (Tanaka et al, 2006;Frederich et al, 2008) and (ii) wide-ranging biological activities which includes antimicrobial (Al-Qawasmeh et al, 2010;Tiwari et al, 2006;Harnden et al, 1978), antitubercular (Karthikeyan et al, 2009;Guzel et al, 2008), ghrelin receptor (Demange et al, 2007), anticancer (Singh et al, 2009;Shi et al, 2007), antioxidant (Lakshmi et al, 2010), antiviral (Giampieri et al, 2009;Fonseca et al, 2004), and antimalarial (Kgokong et al, 2005;Agarwal et al, 2005). Literature survey manifests that the number of 4H-chromene derivatives have been synthesized using various aldehydes Patel, 2009a, 2011b;Mungra et al, 2011b) but there is not a single report where 2-phenyl-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde is used.…”
