CATALYSIS BY TRIFLIC ACID: SYNTHESIS OF THE INDOLYLQUINONES AS POTENTIAL ANTITUMOR AGENT

Feyriel Dridi, Didier Villemin, Nathalie Bar, Messaoud Hachemi, RemiLegay.




Abstract

Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid efficiently catalyzes the conjugate addition of indoles to p-benzoquinones under mild conditions affording
the corresponding indolylquinones in high yields with high selectivity. In particular, the poorly reactive menadione underwent reaction with
indoles under similar conditions to give 3-indolylnaphthoquinones.

Key words: p-Quinones, indoles, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, indol-3-ylbenzoquinones.
