Michael addition reaction is widely accepted as the most important reaction for making carbon-carbon bonds in the synthesis of organic compounds. In this reaction, an enone is attacked by a nucleophile in a conjugated manner across a carbon-carbon double bond. The present work reported the Michael reaction of indole with α,β-unsaturated ketones via alkylation to yield 3-(3-oxoalkyl) indole or β-indolyl ketones. Nat Read More
