Abstract

Indole heterocycles are found to show varied biological application including anti-cancer, antibacterial, anti-viral etc. properties. Synthesis of Pindolol is a simple two step process from the key intermediate 4-Hydroxy Indole which takes place in aqueous media under mild condition. However, synthesis of 4-Hydroxy Indole emerged out to be our area of interest. Microwave assisted dehydrogenative aromatization of an oxoindole to hydroxyindole in a two step reaction using copper (II) bromide and then Lithium bromide with lithium carbonate has been carried out with reasonable good yields within minutes of focused microwave irradiation, thereby, revealing the benefit of saving energy and time.

Keywords: Microwave Synthesizer; Dehydrogenative Aromatization; Hydroxy Indole; Copper (II) Bromide; Bromination; Active Substance Related Substances; Pharmacological
