bis(indolyl)methanes, biologically active, cellulose, sulphanilic acidAbstract
Cellulose sulfanilic acid is a highly regarded catalyst for producing bis(indolyl)methanes. In this process, a substituted benzaldehyde interacts with two indole molecules to form a biologically active bis(indolyl)methane compound. The reaction is rapid and utilizes a readily available, cost-effective, environmentally friendly, solvent-free, and green catalyst. This catalyst facilitates the activation of the carbonyl group in the aldehyde, which then reacts with the third position of the indole molecule.
