A series of new 1,2,3‐triazolidene‐indolinone derivatives (17a‐j) were designed and synthesized via [Et3NH] [HSO4] catalyzed solvent‐free approach. The synthesis strongly relied on Knoevenagel condensation of 1,4‐disubstituted 1,2,3‐triazolyl aldehydes (15a‐j) and oxindole (5). The solvent‐free approach and Brønsted acidity of [Et3NH] [HSO4] ionic liquid increased the rate of reaction and provided the corresponding 1,2,3‐triazolidene‐indolinone derivatives (17a‐j) in excellent yields. The reusability of ionic liquid is also established with persistent effective yields up to four cycles. These novel 1,2,3‐triazolidene‐indolinone derivatives may exhibit potential biological response due to the presence of potent moieties and presence of triazolidene‐exocyclic double bond.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
