Facile One-Pot Fischer–Suzuki–Knoevenagel Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Fluorescent 5-Aryl-2-Styryl-3<i>H</i>-Indoles

In this study, novel fluorescent 5-aryl-2-styryl-3<i>H</i>-indole derivatives were efficiently synthesized from 4-bromophenylhydrazine hydrochloride using the microwave-accelerated one-pot technique, which includes Fischer synthesis, Suzuki cross-coupling, and Knoevenagel condensation. T...

description In this study, novel fluorescent 5-aryl-2-styryl-3<i>H</i>-indole derivatives were efficiently synthesized from 4-bromophenylhydrazine hydrochloride using the microwave-accelerated one-pot technique, which includes Fischer synthesis, Suzuki cross-coupling, and Knoevenagel condensation. The structural assignments of the synthesized compounds were based on <sup>1</sup>H, <sup>13</sup>C, <sup>15</sup>N, and <sup>19</sup>F NMR; IR spectroscopy; and HRMS spectral data. The optical properties of the newly obtained styryl-indole dyes were studied using UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, which clearly demonstrated that the derivatives substituted with electron-donating or -withdrawing groups exhibited varying emission shifts and quantum yields ranging from negligible to high.
