InCl3 mediated one-pot multicomponent synthesis, anti-microbial, antioxidant and anticancer evaluation of 3-pyranyl indole derivatives

A simple and convenient method for the one-pot three-component synthesis of 3-pyranyl indoles has been accomplished by tandem Knoevenagel-Michael reaction of 3-cyanoacetyl indole, various aromatic aldehydes and malononitrile catalyzed by InCl(3) in ethanol under reflux conditions. The newly synthesized 3-pyranyl indoles were evaluated for anti-microbial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities. Some of the compounds showed good anticancer activity against MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines on comparison with of standard drug.

Expeditious synthesis, antibacterial activity evaluation and GQSAR studies of 3-bisoxindoles, 2-oxindolyl-2-hydroxyindan-1,3-diones and 2-oxindolyl-2-hydroxyacenaphthylen-1-ones

The rhodium(II)-catalyzed one-pot three-component reaction of 3-diazooxindole, benzyl alcohol and isatin or ninhydrin or acenaphthenequinone was explored to synthesize 3-bisoxindoles, 2-oxindolyl-2-hydroxyindan-1,3-diones and 2-oxindolyl-2-hydroxyacenaphthylen-1-ones with vicinal stereo centres, respectively through oxonium ylides. Their antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus NCIM 5021, Escherichia coli NCIM 2931, Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCIM 5029, Salmonella typhimurium NCIM 2501 and Proteus vulgaris NCIM 2813 were evaluated by a microdilution method. Group-based quantitative structure activity relationships (GQSAR) for all antibacterial activities were developed. The statistical measures namely r2 (0.66–0.85), r2 adj (0.63–0.84), q2 (0.54–0.79) and F-ratio (11.63–34.17) were found to be satisfactory. All of the test and training set compounds were found to be within a 99% confidence level. Descriptors pertaining to hydrophobicity, topology and electrostatic interactions of the substitutions were found to contribute to their activities.

Synthesis and NMR spectral assignments of indol-3-yl pyridines through one-pot multi-component reaction

Asimple protocol for the efficient preparation of 6‐(ferrocene‐1‐yl)‐2‐(indol‐3‐yl)pyridine and 2‐(1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐6‐(2‐thienyl)pyridine derivatives has been achieved through multi‐component reaction, and these compounds were thoroughly characterised by 2D NMR spectral techniques. Copyright

In the title compound, C23H18N2O4·H2O, the two oxindole rings subtend a dihedral angle of 54.29 (5)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular N—H⋯O, O—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions.

1′-Methyl-2,2′′-dioxoindoline-3-spiro-2′-pyrrolidine-3′-spiro-3′′-indoline-4′,4′-di­carbonitrile

In the title compound, C21H15N5O2, the pyrrolidine ring adopts a twist conformation. Both the oxindole rings are planar [maximum deviations of 0.076 (1) and 0.029 (1) Å in the two rings] and are oriented at a dihedral angle of 72.7 (1)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by C—H⋯O, N—H⋯O, N—H⋯N and C—H⋯π interactions.
