Comments
Synthesis: This method was found to be very general for a number of aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes, with different types of substituents, and also for the substituted 3-(cyanoacetyl)indoles tested. It did not work with aliphatic aldehydes as starting materials. When attempted using conventional heating, the example reaction was refluxed for 12 h and gave 47% yield, to compare with 80% using microwave heating.

The maximum power was set to 250 W for this reaction.

Work-up and purification: After the reaction, the mixture was poured into 100 ml cold water. The product was filtered off and washed with ethanol, and then purified by recrystallisation from ethanol-DMF (1/1).

Characterisation: By mp, IR, 1H and 13C NMR and HRMS.
