Abstract

Nine kinds of 5-[(indol-3-yl)-methyl]-2,2-butylidene-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione derivatives were synthesized by the three-component one-pot reaction of indole with aldehydes and 2,2-butylidene-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione in the presence of boric acid under solvent-free. The results indicated that the yields ranged from 68.6% to 91.3%, when using 5 mol% boric acid and reacting at 60 ℃ for 30~90 min. Furthermore, a proposed reaction mechanism for the reaction catalyzed by boric acid was speculated. The main advantages of the present procedure were milder conditions, shorter reaction time and higher yields. Further study showed that boric acid was environmentally friendly and reused for six times without any noticeable decrease in the catalytic activity.
