Problems solved by technology

Although widely used, the raw material aldehyde used in this method is highly toxic, easy to deteriorate, and difficult to store for a long time. Compared with aldehyde, alcohol has the advantages of cheap, stable, easy to store, and environmentally friendly. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a method of using alcohol as a reagent to replace aldehyde to synthesize aldehyde or ketone to realize the preparation of bis-indolylmethane derivatives.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing a bisindole methane derivative. The method comprises the following steps of: adding an indole derivative, methanol, a transition metal catalyst and alkali to a reaction vessel in the presence of nitrogen, and allowing a reaction mixture to react at 120-150 DEG C under a solvent-free condition or under the condition of taking paraxylene as a solvent, and cooling the reaction mixture to the room temperature, wherein the transition metal catalyst is an iridium, ruthenium or rhodium complex; alkali is selected from one or more of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, cesium carbonate, potassium phosphate and potassium tert-butoxide; the mole ratio of the transition metal catalyst to the indole derivative is 0.1-0.2mol%; and the mole ratio of alkali to the indole derivative is 0.1-1.0 equiv.; the mole ratio of methanol to the indole derivative is (3-12.4):1; and the reaction time is 4-12 hours. Compared with the prior art, the bisindole methane derivative is obtained by a coupled reaction of the indole derivative and more environmentally-friendly alcohol, so that the reaction meets the requirement of green chemistry, and the method has a wide development prospect.
