A three-component reaction of 4-hydroxyindole, an aldehyde, and malonitrile or ethyl cyanoacetate has been developed using potassium fluoride (KF) or diethylamine as catalysts, which readily yields 3,4-fused tricyclic indoles with good to excellent yields.
Experimental Procedure: The reaction was conducted in a 20 mL V-shaped tube with a triangular magnetic stirring bar. In a typical reaction, 4-hydroxyindole (0.4 mmol) was mixed with malonitrile (0.4 mmol) and an aldehyde (0.4 mmol) in 2.0 mL of ethanol. Potassium fluoride (0.08 mmol) was then added. The mixture was heated to 60 °C under stirring and maintained for 6 hours. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, and the target product was isolated using preparative thin-layer chromatography (TLC), with a mobile phase of petroleum ether/ethyl acetate = 3/1 (v/v) for elution.
