One-pot synthesis of 10-methyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10-decahydroacridine-1,8- dione derivatives under microwave heating without catalyst

Abstract

A series of 10-methyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10-decahydroacridine-1,8-dione derivatives were synthesized by one-pot reaction of aldehyde, dimedone or 1,3-cyclohexanedione and methylamine in glycol or water under microwave heating without catalyst. The method has the advantage of short routine and reaction time, high yields as well as friendly environment. And the reaction was not only suitable for aliphatic and aromatic monoaldehyde, but also for aromatic dialdehyde. © 2005 SIOC, CAS, & Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
