A Green Approach to the Production of Hybrid Diindolylmethane-Phenylboronic Acids via a 3MCR: Promising Antineoplasic Molecules by Mónica Zarco Juarez, Joel Omar Martínez, Olivia Noguez Cordova, María Inés Nicolás Vazquez, Teresa Ramírez-Apan, Javier Pérez Flores, René Miranda Ruvalcaba, Gabriel Arturo Arroyo Razo

“…Then, the green approach to the production of three novel hybrid diindolylmethanes-phenylboronic acids via a 3MCR is discussed, which features the following: solventless conditions, the use of microwave irradiation to activate the reactions, the absence of catalyst, and an efficient atom economy. The products were achieved with moderate yields (41–61%) within a short time frame (5 min) and appropriately characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods (NMR: 1H, 13C, 11B; MS: EI, CI, FAB+, HRMS). …”
