Microwave-assisted Synthesis of Acridine-1,8(2H,5H)-diones via a One-pot, Three Component Reaction
Abstract
A new and improved protocol for the synthesis, in good to excellent yields, of acridine-1,8(2H,5H)-diones is described, involving a one-pot, three component reaction of dimedone, arylglyoxals, and ammonium acetate in water under microwave irradiation.
