Abstract

A new series of indole-containing pyridine derivatives, 4-aryl-6-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2,2¢-bipyridine-5-carbonitriles, were synthesized via one-pot multicomponent reactions of 3-(cyanoacetyl) indoles, aldehydes, heterocyclic ketones, and ammonium acetate. Particularly valuable features of this method include high yields of products, broad substrate scope, and straightforward procedures.
