Abstract
Bis-indolylquinones are fungal natural products endowed with interesting pharmacological properties. Most of the previously described methodologies in solution for the construction of the bis-indolylquinone framework show disadvantages associated with long reaction times and difficult, waste-generating purifications. A one-pot mechanochemical methodology for the synthesis of indolylquinones was developed, starting from indoles and dihaloquinones in the presence of FeCl3 or p-TsOH as catalysts and Fetizon's reagent as an oxidant. In contrast to solution chemistry, mechanochemical activation allowed the double addition of indole to a quinone substrate in one pot, leading to symmetrical or non-symmetrical bis-indolylquinones via a domino processes comprising up to six steps. In terms of sustainability, the method has several advantages over the solution protocol, including much shorter reaction times, no external heating, one-pot operation, and the absence of chromatography, leading to a drastically better performance in green metrics and demonstrating the application of several principles of green chemistry, in particular principles 2, 3, and 5.

Abstract
An atom-economical and environmentally benign approach for the synthesis of indole-substituted 1,4-naphthoquinones from indoles and 1,4-naphthoquinones using readily available Lewis acidic B(C6F5)3 in water and with the recycling of water and part of the catalyst is reported. The reaction proceeded through the B(C6F5)3-catalyzed C(sp2)-H and C(sp2)-H bond coupling of 1,4-naphthoquinones with the C-3 position of indole derivatives in water. This methodology provides a facile protocol for the synthesis of some new indole-substituted 1,4-naphthoquinones in satisfactory yields and with a broad substrate scope. When compared to known methods for the synthesis of indole-substituted 1,4-naphthoquinones, this protocol is practical and efficient and does not require a transition-metal catalyst or toxic organic solvents. In addition, we utilized a simple filtration process for complete recycling of the solvent and the part of the catalyst in each reaction cycle.

Abstract
A domino synthesis of 3-indolylquinones was achieved successfully via direct oxidative C-C coupling of hydroquinones with indoles over Ag2O and Fe3O4/povidone-phosphotungstic acid (PVP-PWA) catalysts using H2O2 in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature. Ag2O catalyzed the in situ oxidation of hydroquinone and 3-indolylhydroquinone intermediates, whereas ferrite solid acid, Fe3O4/PVP-PWA, with a 1:4:1 ratio of Fe3O4, PVP, and PWA, catalyzed the activation of quinones. The efficiency of this catalytic domino approach was established by a broad scope of substrates involving a variety of hydroquinones and quinones to give high yields (81-97%) of 3-indolylquinones. Fe3O4/PVP-PWA was separated magnetically, whereas simple filtration could separate Ag2O, both of which could be recycled several times without losing their activities.
