Abstract:

A clean and efficient method for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)alkanes with antimony trichloride(SbCl3) as the catalyst under solvent-free grinding conditions is described. This method provides several advantages, such as simple work-up procedure, neutral conditions and high yields.

Key words: Bis(indolyl)alkane; Indole; SbCl3; Grinding
