Abstract

The nucleophilic addition of Indole1 withα, βcarbonyl compound (Chalcone)2‘Michael addition’ in presence of catalytic amount of Alum (KAl (SO4)2.12H2O) in presence of water as solvent. Various 3-substituted indoles were synthesized in less time of reactions with good to excellent yields under the microwave irradiation method
