Abstract—The present study aimed to use a method for the synthesis of some tetrahydro-dihydroxy-oxoindeno[1,2-b]pyrroles. The question this study tried to answer was this reaction can be performed without solvent and catalyst or not. To find answer to the question, Some [1,2-b]pyrroles were synthesized, via condensation of amines, alkylpropiolates, and ninhydrin at room temperature without solvent and catalyst. Therefore we have synthesized this compounds with a novel method, which is eco_friendly, cost effective, environmentally friendly, acceptive yields, solvent Free and free catalyst was developed for the synthesis of some tetrahydro-dihydroxy-oxoindeno[1,2-b]pyrroles.
Index Terms—Tetrahydro-dihydroxy-oxoindeno[1,2-b] pyrroles, free solvent, environmentally friendly, room temperature
