Typical Experimental Procedure.
To a solution of SmI₃ (0.1 mmol) in MeCN (1 mL) was added indole (1 mmol) or 2-methylindole (1 mmol) or 2-phenylindole (1 mmol), electron-deficient olefin (1 mmol) and silica gel (0.25 g). Then the mixture was mixed thoroughly and dried under reduced pressure. The contents were taken in a 5-mL conical flask and was placed in a microwave oven (cooking type, Galanz WP 700P 21-6) and irradiated for 2 min or 15 min at 680 W. After completion of the reaction indicated by TLC, the reaction mixture was allowed to cool, diluted with CH₂Cl₂ and passed through a short silica gel column using CH₂Cl₂ as eluent. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatography to afford the corresponding 3-alkylated indole.
Procedure for the Reactions with Methyl Vinyl Ketone. To a solution of SmI₃ (0.1 mmol) in MeCN (1 mL) was added indole (1 mmol) or 2-methylindole (1 mmol) or 2-phenylindole (1 mmol), and silica gel (0.25 g). Then the mixture was mixed thoroughly and dried under reduced pressure, followed by the addition of methyl vinyl ketone (1 mmol) in CH₂Cl₂ (0.5 mL) while stirring. The following work up was the same to typical experimental procedure. All new compounds were fully characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, MS, IR and elemental analysis.
