title: Ultrasound assisted, ruthenium-exchanged FAU-Y zeolite catalyzed alkylation of indoles with epoxides under solvent free conditions.
abstract: Ruthenium-exchanged FAU-Y zeolite (RuY) was used as a recyclable catalyst for regioselective ring-opening of epoxides with indoles under irradiation of sonic waves. It was found that a solvent free process, under the above mentioned conditions provides good yields of the desired 3-alkylated indole derivatives.
