Abstract

Iron(III ) dodecyl sulfate as Lewis acid-surfactant catalyst was prepared in situ and effectively used in the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes and Michael reactions of indoles with a,b-unsaturated carbonyl compounds in water. Also, this method was used for the synthesis of 1,1,3-tri-indolyl compounds, producing good to excellent yield at room temperature.
