One-pot Multi-component Synthesis of Mono- and Bis-indolylimidazole Derivatives Using Zn2+@KSF and Their Antibacterial Activity

Abstract

The preparation of mono- and bis-indolylimidazole derivatives using Zn2+ supported on montmorillonite KSF (Zn2+@KSF) as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst is described. The structures of these compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The antibacterial activity of the selected products was examined. Some products exhibit promising activities.
